Master craftsman Buzz Morisette reports:
I have an update on the doors for the Ely I have been working on.
For Pullman Weekend coming up May 2nd and 3rd, Roger and Co. have been working on the Ely along with others. I was asked to help out with some door and window problems with the car.
These double doors at the back end of the car had rotted bottoms that needed repairs as pictured. Just completed, Fritz helped me mount them today.
The other rear side door had been made by an outside sash shop as long as 30 years ago. Never painted and lost in the shuffle, apparently. Roger located it some time back and recognized the latch hardware matching the hinges on the temporary door.
That door is still in the shop waiting for tempered glass.
Note: IRM has by far the most comprehensive collection of Pullman cars of all types -- passenger, freight, and electric -- to be found anywhere, and you won't want to miss Pullman Weekend on May 2nd and 3rd!!
