Friday, April 10. 2009L7 update, 2/15 through 4/10 Buzz applied the new logo Over the past 7 weeks, the L7 has seen a lot of activity. The missing sections of the T&G cab floor has been cut and reinstalled by Joel. Stan has been cleaning the interior walls and ceiling and half of it is primed and painted. Charlie and a number of other people have sanded, wire wheeled, primed and painted all of the remaining sides, hoods, and decks. Half of the handrails have been painted white and Buzz applied the new logo on one side, with the other side to be applied soon. A number of new photos can be viewed in the L7 photo gallery. Saturday, April 4. 2009CB&Q 504 update 4/4 primer on the roof Its been a little while since we have been able to post any updates on the 504, the restoration work does continue. The dynamic brake louvers have had their first coat of paint applied a couple of weeks ago. A lot of work has been done on the roof. The area where the air tanks go has has been needle chipped, wire wheeled, and/or DA sanded, and then its been wiped with lacquer thinner and primed with Dupont Variprime. More needle chipping is being done around the front nose and cab sides. The area under the winterization hatch will be wire wheeled and primed, then all the primed areas will be painted so the tanks, winterization hatch and all the other roof accessories can be reinstalled. The most recent photos can be viewed in the 504 restoration gallery. Thursday, April 2. 2009 |
