Wood Shop Update - April 14, 2010

CAE Sash

Bruce Plaxton and John Faulhaber have just glued and assembled another new sash for the CA&E cars.

Enough Left

Is there enough left to take accurate measurements for new cupola sash for the IC 9792 caboose? Some would debate that statement. But Rich Witt puzzles over a well rotted piece as he works to document the old parts and provide a working drawing for making new ones.

Tenons

Bruce Plaxton and Rich Witt trim tenons to fit on the last of 12 new sash for the CA&E cars - 4 for the 451, 4 for the 460, and 4 for the 409.

Rattan Seats

Not exactly in the wood shop but in the new Barn 4 addition for the last two pics for this entry. Frank Sirinek examines a set of reconditioned seat cushions that Tim Peters 'processed' for CRT 1268.

Ruins

Henry Vincent is toiling to re-create some 'ruins' in northern Italy. In this case a representation of the Cassino area after bombing. These sets will be used in the upcoming WW II re-enactments over Memorial Day Weekend.

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 [...]

Thanks for the update! I still don't understand why Commonwealth #5 was removed from service. Do you know why?

Max, Has work begun yet on the construction phase of erecting the poles and putting up the wire? Wish I could be there to watch it happen.
