Monday was another busy and productive day in the car shop. It was also the last day of Happy Holiday Railway, added to the calendar due to popular demand and the cancellation of one of the earlier scheduled days because of bad weather. But as usual, everyone seemed to be having a good time.
And as usual, I was too busy to take many pictures. Here we see a test installation of the scraper cylinder on beam #3. In front, two new pieces of maple for beam #4. These were later jointed, ripped, and slotted.
The cylinder needs to be cleaned up and painted before final attachment.
Later in the day, paint on the bottom of #3, while contestant #4 is being glued.
The other projects, such as 1268 and 306, continue to make progress. A test application of a revised formula for the yellow paint on the 28 was pronounced a success.
Work continues on the Green Bay car. And it was loud.
Gregg and Jack are really accomplishing a lot to be proud of!
