... at least for the time being. It was raining most of the day, which is good in most ways. We certainly needed the rain, and it cooled off quite a bit, making work in the barn much more pleasant.
I spent most of the morning stripping paint from the #1 end of car 36, and finished wire-wheeling all the paint from the metal plate. Later in the day, Al put a coat of primer on the plate, so it won't start to rust.

And I put a first finish coat of grey on four windows, so they can be put back in the car next time.
Al and I drove over to R&B Metals in Woodstock, our usual source for steel of all sorts. I had ordered a couple of plates to replace rusted-out pieces from the side doors, as seen here, plus some new signs, which I'll show you in a later post.
Al has been working hard on restoring a side door from the 36, and today put a first coat of the finish color on the outside, as seen here.
