Thursday, January 28. 2010Wood Shop Update - January 27, 2010 New Kids Well, not new exactly. John Mann and another member of the Rock River Valley Division of the NMRA were out in the shop and helped a bit with sanding the new windows for the N&W 2050. This is one of the few exceptions where fans or modelers support the work at IRM. Not only did they make a substantial donation recently, but previously they were very 'visible' helping on the restoration of the CRIP single sheath automobile box car.  Careful - John Nelligan trims carefully as parts are fitted together on the last two windows for the 2050. By days end, the final two frames were in the glue press and done.  CA and E Work Henry Vincent and Rich Witt began work to make a new window for CA&E 409, one of the new arrivals from Cleveland. (The odd photo caption is 'working around' that an ampersand is not allowed in that field.) Thursday, January 28. 2010Milwaukee Streetcar 972 Update - January 27, 2010 Signage Pete Galayda quietly goes about trimming out and adding all the 'good stuff' to complete the paint job on this car. He has been replacing many of the signs, lights, etc on the ends, for example. Here, the sign from the Safety Commission has been restored and placed, as it was. |

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 [...]
