Most of today's report concerns doors, as it happens. In the morning I spent a few hours sorting parts, but nothing worth taking a picture of. However, I did bring out the door lock assembly I made a while ago for locking up the 451, which it will need once it moves out of Barn 4. Maybe it should have a more authentic shade of red. Sorry.
Work continues on Michigan Electric 28. Here we see the interior of the baggage compartment, which is being assembled and painted.
And here's the impressive front door. No solicitors.
But inside, Fritz and Rich were working on hanging one of the side doors for the baggage compartment.
And next door, work proceeds steadily on the interior of the 268.
Here Tim is finishing up one of the sliding doors.
And also, Gregg and Jack were working on the Green Bay car, but I'll let Gregg give us the details.
I believe the train door for the 460 needs the right shade of red paint, but is otherwise ready to install. One of the side doors (southwest) needs some work, and I got it off the hinges, but it's too heavy for me to get out of the car by myself. I'm hoping some of the younger guys can transport it into the shop for me. That's enough about doors for today.
So I spent some time on the next third-rail beam. It was cut to length, the notch was cut, and I drilled the horizontal holes. This will probably be a "summer" beam, with no sleet scraper, but it still needs holes to be authentic. The vertical holes will come next.
