Green Bay & Western car update

Our intrepid investigative reporter, Gregg Wolfersheim, has discovered something entirely unexpected - a railroad passenger car in the Electric Car Shop! Sure enough, some journalistic sleuthing reveals that it is Green Bay & Western 109, everyone's favorite wood coach, making its usual rapid progress. Gregg, over to you for the full story!

Our stencil expert has been measuring the letter board to make sure everything is correct. That's Buzz with his trusty ruler!

The west end of the car has been getting sanded and prepped for painting. Lots of epoxy to smooth out the surface, too.

Inside, Jack and Ralph have been making oak trim pieces. When they are ready, they get stained, along with the new sash replacements. Here, the wood is getting varnish.

Where the bay window had been, oak panels have been applied. This is right after Jack stained them. Next will be varnish.

The other stove has been painted, too.

While the epoxy is drying on the corner posts, the deck and steps got some red primer.
