Monday, March 1. 2010Wood Shop Update - February 27,28 2010It was a very busy weekend on many fronts at IRM so I will combine these few pics in a report covering both days. Sunday we changed direction and my shop time was cut short as we operated the Sand Springs 68 in a rare winter move going 'wrong way' around the car line to get to Barn 8.  Electric Park Here is a Gwyn Stupar photo of the car waiting at Electric Park. The motors on the 68 were dragging through the deep drifts despite following the NS 749 which led the way to break the heavy snow banks and push them aside.  Smooth Warren Lloyd and Victor Humphreys are finish sanding five windows for B&M 1094. This marked our first use of the Berlin sander since some much needed maintenance a few weeks ago. No problems noted, and by day's end all work in the shop was completed on these five windows.  A Close Fit Buzz Morisette was fitting yet more parts for windows for the MILW 01984 caboose. At the end of the day four more sash were fitted, glued , and in the press. That makes all ten new windows ready for finish work.  Where the Elite Meet There is always time to discuss plans for the day. Shown are (l to r) Dave Fullerton, Stan Wdowikowski, Greg, Dick Lukin, and Warren Lloyd.  A Dry Fit Jeff Brady is 'dry fitting' all the parts for one of the new baggage doors on the ME 28. It won't be long now before the glue is mixed and then on to the second door. |

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 [...]

Ah yes, I have made such Jibs myself. If it were me, I would add in each corner an angled piece from the base to the Jib to act as sway bracing. [...]
