"The seconds are ticking away on the contest clock" as my thesis advisor would say when I had a deadline to meet, and that's as true now as ever. Since I have a four-car train to operate without tying up the railroad or otherwise embarrassing myself, I spent some time today finishing up lubrication and inspection, as much as I could in place. I'm sure we'll be ready, but there wasn't much to take a picture of.
So I wanted to show you what other people are doing. The barn extension is proceeding quickly.
And then I thought I'd get some pictures of the 6363 after sandblasting, but it's disappeared! I don't have time to search the entire property for something, even something as big as a big hook, but that will have to wait. Whatever you do, don't miss the big parade!
What is the purpose of the lower extension along the south side of the building?

Car Barn work is always the best thing any large artifact museum can do!

The purpose of the "lean-to" on the south side of the building is for storage of spare parts.
ReplyDeleteI recall that the lean-to was the first car shop to replace the woodshop, then the lean-three was the next phase, and I am not sure what the lean-three extension name was. This portion might be called the lean-for? O. Anderson
ReplyDeleteI believe the name being used at the moment is lean-zero
ReplyDeleteAnd Lean-Zero it shall remain, I hope. There won't be a Lean-Minus-One because of the flood plain restrictions.
