Thursday, December 11. 2008Winter WorkYes, we work year around in most departments. Yes, outdoor work is limited, pending short breaks in the weather. But do not be discouraged as we have many projects lined up in the shops. The diner is closed for the season, but thirst not - I will save you an ICE COLD COKE!  Thirsty? Happy Holidays! Bob Kutella, Wood Shop, Freight Car Department Thursday, December 11. 2008URTX 26640 Update December 10, 2008 White Primer for the Outside Work has moved indoors with the advent of a LOT of winter so far. Victor Humphreys continues priming and painting new siding for installation next spring. So, far, FIFTY ONE pieces complete! Thursday, December 11. 2008Wood Shop Update December 10, 2008 Window Molding Strips Ed Chase is working on fitting the small quarter round strips (which we made) to retain the glass on a new set of windows for the IC 9792 caboose. Note the stack of completed windows on the press behind him.  L 4 Door Henry Vincent takes advantage of the nice weather INSIDE the shop to continue the work on a new door for the Milwaukee Electric L 4 locomotive.  Fay Molder Wayne Baksic made a special trip down from Wisconsin on a Wednesday to deliver material and start the steel fabrication of the permanent guard for the Fay molder.  Cutting notches Ed Chase pitches in cutting one inch angle to length and then crafting notches to fit together a very professional looking (we hope) guard cage, one that will match the materials and design of those cages we have left from the TM. Thursday, December 11. 2008New Baggage Doors - December 10, 2008 Routing grooves in the stiles and rails Work has begun in earnest to create two new replacement baggage doors for the ME 28. Materials have been secured and here is a shot of Victor Humphreys demonstrating the use of the table mounted router, to start the milling and shaping process for the various pieces.
