Just a sample of what was happening on Tuesday:
I believe I have pretty much finished up the third-rail beam project for the time being. The two currently on the bench can be installed on the 319, and that should take care of all our operating cars. The 453 will eventually need a set, but that's far in the future.
I attached the scraper onto #2, nailed down the pentagons, and painted everything black. They're both ready for service.
I also did some work on the CA&E service cars, but DC is temporarily unavailable in 8, so there were several things I was unable to do. I'm hoping that gets resolved soon.
Meanwhile, Jack was working all day on woodwork for the doodlebug. He made several of these parts using maple blocks left over from the third rail project!
Work continued on the 306: John was testing electrical parts, Gerry was doing body and fender work on the pilots, and Phil was working on the interior. Tim, of course, was installing and adjusting the clerestory windows on the 268.
And then, Steve Smunt is doing a great job on the interior of the 277. These are sort of action shots of him rolling new paint in the rear vestibule and the heater section. It looks great!
And of course, there were several other things going on.
