Excellent progress continues to be made in the car shop by our hard-working experts, even when for extraneous reasons no one is around to blog it all. I had a few minutes on Saturday to take just a couple of pictures.
First is the 306. Here we see all of the canopy electrical switches and controls that go into the car at the ends, carefully prepared and looking as good as new. These guys do very meticulous work.
And the canopies are being thoroughly restored.
And then, down the track, the Green Bay car is being rebuilt. Because this car was built at the very end of wood car construction, like the CA&E Jewetts for instance, it does not have the wooden truss construction in the subframe that you would expect, relying instead on the steel underframe.
And here Gregg is painting the siding pieces.
And as usual, that's only a small sample of what's going on. I might also mention, although I didn't get a picture, that Barn 15 is progressing rapidly, as seen in Frank's earlier post. And I could point out that Barn 15 will add more covered track space than most museums have in total. We're Number One!
