Green Bay & Western Car Update

Thanks to our intrepid roving reporter, Gregg Wolfersheim, for sending along the latest news concerning the restoration work taking place on Green Bay & Western 109 in Barn 4.

We're starting to close up the side of the car. Using a 1x8 oak plank, the back side has notches to fit over the uprights.

Here's another view of the boards set up for cutting. I used a skil saw set up for limited depth.

Here, several boards have been applied - just like Lincoln Logs when I was a kid. The vertical posts and the horizontal boards interlock together. The sill is mostly done above, too.
