Monday Report

As usual, the Car Shop was busy on Monday with a variety of projects.  I was working pretty intensely on the train door, so I didn't get many pictures of other people's progress.

The 460 door is now assembled with screws and epoxy, but it still needs some minor adjustments and more paint.  Matching the old paint, especially on the inside, may be a challenge.  But I'd like to keep the authentic lettering if possible.  Here's the outside.


It's not ready for installation yet, but I hope to finish it next time.

Buzz was making the final few clerestory windows for the Sand Springs 68!  We haven't seen or heard much about that car for a long time.  And he also has a 144 window to fix.


Cars that have been in service for a long time will always have various little problems like this.

Meanwhile, John was working on wiring up the 306...


More painting on the 28: as you can see here, the front of the car...


and the north letterboard have gotten a new finish coat of orange.


And then several other guys were working on their projects as always.  I can't be everywhere at once.
