Friday Photos

Another brief report from the car shop, where progress never stops.  At least not for very long. 

I realized that I needed to swap cylinders for the last two beams in the current set.  The cylinders are not all the same; they have different ways of providing the air pipe connection, and so the one I had mounted on #3 needed to be replaced, so the pipe will point in the correct direction.  And I also cleaned up the next cylinder, and checked that it would fit onto the beam correctly.  Anyway, after changes were made, both beams got a coat of primer.


Next time, I'll start on black paint.


Meanwhile, Tim continues to make steady progress on the 1268.  Here we see shiny new paint on the new siding on the south side of the car.



And Gregg is making progress on the east end of the Green Bay car too.


But wait, there will be one more...
