Monday, October 12. 2009UTLX 17222 Update, Octorber 10-11, 2009 B End We are still making progress on applying complete lettering to the car. Here, on the B End you see the reporting marks in 4 inch letters.  Car Numbers Several different techniques are used depending on the historical accuracy we need to portray and the size and location of the lettering. Here you see the numbers being applied to the B End painting entirely free hand with a very small brush. Talk about time consuming!  Done with the Number The end results are worth it! And on this car the Chrome Yellow color of the letters makes them really jump out from the black background. Two more lines of lettering will complete this end.  Right Side Meanwhile, on the right side, the class and test data are being applied using a sort of pad printing technique. When completing a line elsewhere on the car, it must be left to dry; so if time is left in the day, we move to a different spot for the the next block of text or numbers.

Kirk Warner is finishing up those annoying details passed by previously. Here are the results of drilling and adding some anchor blots on the left side, A end. Kirk also managed to apply the first coat of black paint to the A end. |

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]
