Thursday, September 10. 2009UTLX 17222 Update September 9, 2009For a project long mired in the effort to get a good paint job, things are coming together nicely.  Dome Boards Dick Cubbage replaces the dome boards after the car has been painted.  First Lettering  Layout Work More layout work and measuring to place additional patterns on the car.  Dome Diamond This symbol is applied to indicate the car has been equipped with an approved manway cover.  Wet Paint Here I am caught in the act (of painting)! It requires two coats of the chrome yellow lettering enamel to provide good coverage over the black tankcar body.  Days End Here is the car by day's end. Amazing that I work so slow with today's work consuming most of 5 hours. But that yellow lettering really stands out from the black background! Thursday, September 10. 2009URTX 26640 Update September 9, 2009More milestones today in spite of shared workforce with several other projects during the day.  BL Truck Victor Humphreys got shiny black enamel applied to the BL truck frame. The code means LEFT truck sideframe on the B END.  B End Speaking of the B end, Kirk Warner substantially completed needlechipping the remaning old paint from this end. |
