Thanks to our fearless freelance reporter Gregg Wolfersheim, who has sent along another batch of photos recording progress on GB&W wood coach 109, which is in the Electric Car Shop for a short time for some woodwork.
The south side of our wooden coach finally has a relatively complete side! The area where the bay window was has been framed in. Eventually it will be covered over.
A young volunteer, Cameron, helped on Sunday by sanding down some of the siding. The green was house paint applied years ago at the museum. The yellow, which is still in good condition, was from the car's tourist railroad days on the Marquette and Huron Mountain.
More rot has been removed, now on the north side of the car.
And, more!
There was nothing behind this area of siding. So, some new uprights and then some horizontal boards will support the siding.
Ralph and Jack have been rebuilding the window openings on the south side. They hope to have this all done by the end of the week!
