Thursday, February 12. 2009CTA S-105 update 2/12 pilots prepped for couplers Work continues on the S-105. Over the past several months, new windows frames and doors have been made and most of them installed, with just a few more to be installed once the body is prepped. Work continues on where the frames get installed into the body to make a good tight fit. The old coupler pocket from one end and all the coupler pocket bolts have been removed and those areas cleaned, primed and painted. The new coupler pockets are slightly larger and have a different hole spacing, so blocks were cut and are being welded into place and new holes will be drilled with the correct spacing to match the pilot. Some preliminary work has been scoped out to get the rust holes in the roof sealed up. This will continue over the next few months. Additional photos can be viewed in the S-105 Restoration gallery. Thursday, February 12. 2009L7 gets another coat of paint 2nd coat of paint on the side The side and end of the cab received a second coat of paint on Thursday night. After some touch up around some hinges and a 3rd coat in these areas, work will move on to the hoods and decks. Additional photos can be found in the L7 gallery. |
