There was much activity in the Car Department this weekend. In addition
to the regular work on the cars (NSL 749; PCC car; Baldy; wood "L"
trailer), there was work on some more cars for the upcoming Trolley
Parade. Yes, if you can, you should come out for the Fourth of July
annual Trolley Parade. The NSL 229 and 251 made their way's over to the
pit for some simple inspection. Again, these rare cars are just getting
a check before the trolley parade.
The
S105's window's are ready to go in. Work on this engine will be easier
now, as the diesel department has graciously let enough space in barn 2
for this engine to be inside to have the work done on it. Thank you.
Another
major event that took place was the shuffling of barns 6 and 7. A lot
of rare equipment made it's way to the light of day to be switched to
another track. You will have to come out and see the new line up in the
barns. It should make somethings more efficient to run.
Respectfully submitted,
Joel Ahrendt

I am a fan of heavyweight like John McLoughlin and Mt Harvard. They only need one color Pullman green! Ted Miles

I saw the IC car today and the paint looks wonderful. The car will stand out in a train once it it ready for service. Great job!

Hi there I just wanted to say I really enjoyed working on this car although you forgot to mention my help on working on it.

Look great, but you might want to seriously consider getting a pressurized paint pot. These hold 1 to 5 gallons of paint depending on size. This would [...]

From the satellite view on Google maps, that appears to be mostly wooden trestle with one section of iron truss bridge... which by itself is probably [...]

Does that mean that Barn 10 is the designated "Coach Yard"?

That might be a bit too much bridge. Measuring it on Google Maps makes it out to be around 102 feet. Using the same tools, the UP bridge at the river [...]

Hi Matt We estimate the costs for installing 100 amp 240 volt stand by service would be between $2500 to $3000. Our shop is now designated area of [...]

@ Roger, how much would it cost to get this 10oamp 240 service? Because I think that would be a worth-while investment if the museum installed it.
