Our indefatigable investigative reporter, Gregg Wolfersheim, is back at it, relaying news about progress on the Green Bay car. I think we can all agree that at this point, thanks to the amount of time it's spent in the Electric Car Shop, it's really an electric car. That's how that works, right?
Here we see Jack putting the trim over the North side of the 109. Last week he did the south side. Each piece had to be custom fitted to the side and existing vertical trim, this took all day!
Inside, the hanging kerosene light fixture is finally up. We located some fonts which are of two different styles.
And, we now have heat at the east end of the car. We still need to apply a sheet metal heat deflector behind both stoves and then reinstall the guard rails.
I removed the painted over upper sash to get at the stained glass. The railroad had soldered a metal sheet over the inside of the colored glass. I removed it and then cleaned up the area.
This is from the outside looking against the interior lighting
After stripping the paint from the inner sash, I put it back in. Here's the view from the inside.
We only have about half of the hardware for the sash latches. Some were twisted like this one. Jack and I straightened most of them today. Several were reinstalled, with a few more to go next week. I'll have more pics as we finish them up.
