Tuesday Report

Tuesday was another exciting, productive day in our fabulous, recently-expanded car shop.  Quickly:



 

Various parts of the 306 are being painted.



Work continues on the 1268.   Stay tuned for more interesting artifacts discovered inside the walls.  Meanwhile, I think Tim just ignores all the parking tickets he gets.


Here's the original pattern for the CA&E third rail hanger, alongside an actual casting.  Note that the casting will have to have a lot of material cut away.


Finally, I started making some new clips for the bolts in the third rail beams.  The rest of the work can be done at home.   And work is almost complete on the second third-rail beam (not shown).
