Friday was a relatively quiet day in the shop. I spent most of the day working on the 460 door, Tim was painting the 268 again, of course, and Gregg and Jack were painting the 109.
The 460's train door is nearly finished. It's mechanically complete, and mostly just needs more paint. Here's the outside surface -- pretty much ready to hang a headlight on.
On the inside, I installed the new steel plate that Gerry made to replace the old one. It turned out that the frame was not quite square, so although he made the plate to the correct dimensions, it still needed to be ground down in order to fit. Gregg helped me with that, and also with installing some bolts.
Now I just need to match the paint.
Here's a small part of what Tim was doing on the 268:
And down at the other end of the barn, the B&G guys were installing part of the trolley wire bridge which will enable us to run cars under power through the open door. Just like downtown!
