Work in the car shop never ceases. The 306 team, for instance, are now working on fixing a few slow leaks in the air system, and when those are resolved, they'll be much closer to having the brake system in operation. Unfortunately, I don't know how to take a picture of a slow air leak. We'll just have to take their word for it.
But what I do know how to take pictures of is the old same stuff -- third rail beams. Frank pointed out that we have the ridged castings for adjusting the height of the 319's beams, so they need to be trimmed at each end. That didn't take too long, as seen here.
And then I spent some timing wire-wheeling the next shoe and cylinder castings so they could be painted. Gerry helped with undoing a frozen bolt, and Fred helped me get them installed on the next beam.
And then I was able to put primer on the new parts. It's going along well.
Finally, Tim is of course continuing on the 268 without pause. For instance, refurbished seat pedestals have been installed, as seen here. And Tim thinks that he himself deserves to be on a pedestal.
I'm not so sure. If we did put him on a pedestal, who would do all the work?
