Our intrepid reporter on all things Coach Department, Gregg Wolfersheim, has somehow found himself marooned in Barn 4, the land of electrics. Fortunately for absolutely everyone involved, though, he's not at a loss for news, because he's found a passenger car there - and it's even actively being worked on! He has sent us the below summary of recent events.
Here is the west door back in place and painted.
The inside. New molding was used to hold the bottom panel in place. The old molding was split from being nailed in place.
This is the ceiling collar for the stove pipe. I needle chipped it first, then polished it up.
The collar back in place. It now matches the other one at the east end of the car.
Awhile back, Jack made the molding that goes over the single sash. Here it has been applied, and is getting painted.
The finished product. The other side is partially done. We're trying to have a contractor make the longer ones for the double sash arches. Hopefully they will show up soon.
And, a final shot of the west end of the car. The overhang has been painted. The lower sections are next, with the railings and platform to follow in black.
