Details, Details

Roof work on the 460 is nearing completion, and mostly there are several details to be taken care of.  The one important issue is to complete the power cable connections, but otherwise we'll be done soon.  Once it gets warmer I'll want to put more paint on most of the structure.

On Monday, the regulars were hard at work on their usual projects.  Here we see Fritz working on the wooden frame for a new North Shore door.

And I don't even know what car this window is for.  It looks like it might be a Pullman.  In any case, we have enough room for several projects to proceed simultaneously.

UPDATE:

I've been informed that this is for the Santa Fe combine, 2544.   Buzz sends along a picture of the puzzle pieces needed to put one corner together:

Thanks!

And here Pete is working on one of the other North Shore doors.

As for me, I installed the rope guard at the east end of the car, as seen here...

And then made up a trolley rope for this end and installed it.

And nailed in several more leather straps for holding the roof cables, which I think you can make out:

And since it was warm enough for caulking, there was one more ventilator to attach, with its 80 or so screws.  Rather time-consuming.

And later I caulked and permanently attached some more parts of the roof.   Details, details.

Meanwhile, John continues installing windows and finishing them, with the relatively warm interior.

And I never got around to getting another picture of Tim working on his seemingly endless output of window frames.  Sorry.

This isn't exactly a detail.  K controllers can be extremely heavy, as you may know.  Here most of the team is using a crane to lift one of the 306 controllers up and onto the operating table.
