Line Car Roof

Gregg Wolfersheim sends us another update on the IT 1702, which is now in the roof booth getting a complete overhaul.  

The #1 end of the line car is receiving its two layer roof. Basically two layers of lath trimmed to fit behind the tack molding.

Applying primer.

Close up of the two layers.

After the strips are all nailed down.

Today I started cutting out the roof saddles. Here are the first four being test fitted. They will eventually go on top of the canvas roof. Meanwhile, we are waiting for the supplier to mill out the 94 tongue and groove boards that will support the canvas and the saddles.
