I would have liked to do inspection on the 309 on Wednesday, but it was raining in the morning, so that was put off. But with a little help from some of the other guys we should be able to catch up.
As a result, I kept going on the roof of the 460. More epoxy and painting were completed; the upper part of the roof has now been completely painted, and only some more patching on the tack molding is required before the canvas can go on. But I didn't take any pictures of the completed paint job.
So let's see what the other Wednesday regulars have been doing. Lorne has been working on the Cleveland PCC truck. The motors have been sent out for rebuilding, and when they return, he says the truck is nearly ready for them to be installed.
These are the brake actuators, which are also ready.
Gerry has finished tacking one end of the 306.
Tim was making more puzzle pieces for the ends of the 1808.
It's rather complicated, and he seems to have lost the instructions that came with the kit.
Jon Fenlaciki is almost done reassembling the baggage compartment in the 65. It's really going to look great.
Finally, I wandered over to the C&NW building. The roof appears to be complete, and it now has this nice sign, showing us what the facade will look like -- the same basic idea as the MPB.
So your midweek missive moral is: Progress at IRM never stops, and it's never too late to get on the bandwagon!
Kinda hard to tell scale, is this going to be an actual 2 story building or just a facade making it appear so.

It will be just one floor with a facade. The roof is fairly high so that may accommodate storage space. The problem is that nowadays if you have an upper floor you are required to have an elevator. That adds a lot to both the first cost and the ongoing expenses of inspection and maintenance. And of course the land is ours, so having a larger footprint doesn't cost any more, and helps our expanding city grow.
