Thursday, March 4. 2010Wood Shop Update - March 3, 2010This will be another 'one size fits all' blog entry covering many different projects.  The Crew Some of the crew pitching in today included John Nelligan, Randall Hicks, Victor Humphreys, Jack Beisterfield, and Pete Galayda. John and Pete did some work on the TM 972 to get ready for new upholstery, and then they both moved to work on the Charles City Western 300 trying to decipher some of the cabling and wiring. Randy and Pete were working on windows for the CA&E 319, while Jack was taking 'delivery' of five new windows, completed for the B&M 1094.  Never Ending Window Work Henry Vincent works on a new window frame for North Shore 757 while Rich Witt fusses with the fit for a new sash for CA&E 409.  The Door Victor Humphreys makes progress on the new door. Dave Diamond stopped in and we discussed making a new door for the depot, once the process is perfected and we gain some experience on this type project.  Stand Still Work is not at a standstill but Joe Luciani and Lee Regione wait for no man. That, or I could not hold the camera steady! Here, they stop by the wood shop to cut new floorboards for CB&Q 993.  Rich Witt Photo Rich Witt submitted this - as he said - a RARE image. In this case one with me in it! Bob Kutella, Victor Humphreys, and Pete Galayda discuss a porblem stripping the CA&E 319 windows. |
