The Vintage Transport Extravaganza is coming up soon, the next exciting event at IRM, and as Frank has mentioned we're planning to use the 308 in passenger service for the first time in a few years. The car for the most part is still in excellent shape.
However, in the smoker one of the molding strips, above the car cards, had come loose and fallen down. That I needed to fix.
It took some work, but I was able to make at least a temporary repair that should be good for now. We'll keep an eye on it. And I tested a couple of whistles and selected one for use in service.

Anyway, you won't want to miss this year's Extravaganza!
I also worked on removing seats in the 451 for reupholstering. By the way, it was hot!
But some of the workers get to work in air-conditioned comfort. Lots of work continues on the 306.
And on the 1808:

And our old friend Steve Iversen was visiting from Oklahoma, working on doors for the Kansas City PCC:
