Thursday Update

On Thursday there was more progress on the interior of the 319, with sanding, filling, and painting, including parts of the ceiling. Progress is seen here. Nothing too different.





Some of the other projects that were going on may be more interesting. Since all of the windows are out of the 1797, it's easy to see the interior details from the sidewalk.


Tim has been making good progress on the roof, as seen here.


And I helped Tim and Frank a little with moving a heavy piece of canvas that will be installed on the car soon. Here Tim is seen hosing it down to make sure it's thoroughly soaked.



Mike Alterio has been helping Frank Sirinek on the West Towns car for a long time. Here he is marking out a piece for the catcher mechanism under the end platform. Because this car was a body, all of these mechanical parts had to be re-engineered from scratch.




And the GN hopper has been moved into Barn 4 temporarily. As promised, it's now red all over.
