Thursday, April 22. 2010URTX 26640 Update - April 21, 2010 Roof Work I had mentioned that work has resumed on this car, weather permitting, in some earlier BLOG entries. Yesterday I managed to hoist myself up on the roof to see what Victor Humphreys is accomplishing. A lot of this roof has been cleaned, primed, and painted, and he was busy with the power wire wheel at the time of this pic. Thursday, April 22. 2010Wood Shop Update - April 21, 2010 Priming George Clark was under the weather for a few weeks, but he returned ready and willing to go. Here he is applying primer to some of the new milled siding. George is the 'one man band' behind the exceptional progress on our trolley freight trailer, Lake Shore Electric 810.  Number 12 Rich Witt checks for squareness on the twelfth window in the series we are making for the new CA&E Trolleyville acquisitions. Later in the day Rich and I ran out just shy of 150 feet of custom molding or window beading which will be used for retaining the glass in these. Some of the completed assemblies are stacked against the table in the backgorund. Sanding anyone?? Thursday, April 22. 2010Barn 4 Addition Update - April 21, 2010 Painting Henry Vincent spent the entire day, with help from John Faulhaber, starting to apply primer to the MANY square feet of plywood sheathing inside this new room. I guess Henry has no concern with heights or rickety ladders. I am sure any donations would be welcome for this project so electrical service, lighting, and other details can be completed. That must be done before final inspection and occupancy can be considered. Thursday, April 22. 2010CNW 7700 Combine - April 21, 2010We do not see many entries here for the Passenger Car Department - I guess they are too busy working!  End Gate But I happened to catch an image of Roger Kramer enjoying the pleasant but cool weather. Here he is priming one of the end gates for the car. Last weekend there was a lot of work inside the car to spruce it up and repaint areas. |

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 [...]
