Wednesday Work

I'm back from a vacation in Alaska, which is why there hasn't been much weekday news.  But I do have some pictures from today.  

Mostly I was working on the same old story -- the third rail beams.  Bored yet?  I removed another shoe assembly from one of the Brookins beams, cleaned it up, installed it, and gave it some primer.


This is the last of the current set of summer beams.




Meanwhile, Buzz was making a new window frame for the Milwaukee Road caboose.


And people were working on the 28, but I didn't get any pictures.   Sorry.


Tim was working on the window sills for the sections that have the door engine inside.  It's rather complicated; the door engine is controlled by a set of links and levers for operation by a conductor standing at the end of the train.  


And the next beam got a partial coat of black.
