Recent GG-1 Progress

Thanks to our intrepid freelance correspondent Bill Wulfert for sending along this update of recent work on our Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1:


David Fullarton finished mounting the GG1 seat cushions and backs to the seat frames.  The seats were recovered by John McKelvey with help from Jane Blackburn.  David would like to clean up the seat pedestals inside of the locomotive before they are remounted.  They are presently stored inside of the Baldie (4146).  These are the nicest seats you will ever see in a Baldie!


Last Tuesday I painted the "F", "WATER" & "FUEL OIL" lettering on the GG1. It previously only had one WATER label.  Buzz Morisette created the lettering, and Warren Newhauser cut the vinyl stencils. Another item checked off of the GG1 list.




Last Autumn, Gregg Wolfersheim added a steam connector pipe to the south end of the GG1. They had steam heat during their whole life.
