Friday, October 8. 2010Dover Strait Update - October 6, 2010It has been awhile since we have shown any progress reports on the DOVER STRAIT. Bob Hunter works on this project year around, with summer help from Gene Mackowiak. Much of the recent work this season has been on the car interior. So - here are some images courtesy of scans made by the intrepid staff at the Strahorn Library.  Vestibule Entry There is only a vestibule at one end of this heavyweight car and this is the entry, all trimmed out and nearly complete.  Hallway One end of the car is occupied by bedrooms and there is a hallway along side those. All painted and with lighting complete, it looks terrific!  Lounge The main lounge/seating area has also been refinished and lighting installed. WOW! Still work to be done, add furniture and details, but a real milestone in the restoration effort which has consumed years of volunteer work. |
