Wednesday Action

Once again, we have lots to report on.  And this isn't even complete -- I'm sure I missed several other things that were going on.

Tim is polishing up and adjusting the new castings for the ceiling light fixtures.  These are quite interesting, and decorative for a rapid transit car.

Lorne and Chuck continue work on the Cleveland PCC truck.

The floor is being installed in the baggage compartment of the 28 by Rich Castagna and Norm.

Work continues on the 306.  John Sheldon is working on the floor at the east end, while Gerry is doing welding and steel replacement at the west end.  Here we see the new steel for the window sill at the top.

But the side plate is rusted out and needs new steel patched in.  The rectangular section in the middle is mostly Bondo, which we think was put there by Jim Blower.

You can see the light coming through the plate from a spotlight inside.  Gerry will replace the rusted-out portions, as well as the angle iron behind it.

As viewed from the inside:

And then, there's more progress on the MPB.  All doors have been installed on the north side.

And inside, the contractors have just started installing the walls.  In the foreground, the steel studs have been stacked.

 Finally, I worked on various parts of the 451.  Among other things, I sorted out the car cards.  Most of them were removed for some reason, and a few got badly ripped.  I took them home to try and put them back together.
