Baked to Perfection

Another bearing got soldered today in the big oven.  Just one more to go, and then I will have my machinist turn them down to spec.  Here are the two halves pasted together and strapped:


And several hours later, it had cooled off enough to be carefully lifted out of the oven.  Gotta be careful, it still says "HOT"!



Meanwhile, Tim just never stops.  Here he's painting a door for one of the cars, the 1268, I think.  I forgot to ask.



And Steve Iversen is paying us another visit from Oklahoma.  He says he'll be here for two weeks.  Here he is working on the Kansas City car, and behind him are the front windows that he has been working on.


And watch this space for news about a long-overdue celebration.
