Thursday, October 9. 2008Barn 11 Update October 8, 2008 First Roof Panels Not too much activity on the project this week, perhaps due to poor weather.

But the story - we recently received a substantial donation of tooling for our Fay molder and it will also work on the ex Illinois Traction molder/sticker we obtained 9/27.

Yes. We are looking at what it would take to rig it like the existing one to use as a water back up for #1630. It currently lacks the [...]

It is interesting to see both the milk cars together. I had been wondering if the steam department would use the IC car. The Railway Express reefer [...]
