Freight Car Department

We were very lucky to have Kirk Warner back for a short visit from the South.  Kirk is very good at taking pics which can sometimes be problematic for me while I am doing the work.

Layout

Victor Humphreys assists while Bob Kutella applies a transfer pattern to the A end of the car.

Tracing

The next step is for me to trace the layout lines onto the car end, to be followed by taping and masking much of that.

Painting

Next is to get out the paint.  In this case after the sun had moved enough to cool the area down from when it was in direct sun.

Done

The number and end reporting marks are done on the A end.  This completes all lettering on the A end.  We will probably have to move the car a bit east to have enough room to set up scaffolding for the B end lettering.

Touch Up

Buzz Morisette touches up the newly applied MILW heralds.

South Side

And here is a shot of the south side with all lettering done there, the MILW herald, and only some minor paint work remaining.
