Tuesday, October 12. 2010Wood Shop and Other News - October 10, 2010 Taking Shape Jim Windmeier was out in the shop continuing the almost furniture quality work making many new step boxes, replicas using wood. Here he is filling and sanding, and by the end of the day, many parts had received the first primer.  New Side Sill George Clark is getting ready for installation of a new steel side sill on the Lake Shore Electric 810. The new fabricated sill is in the foreground, fitted and cut to length, and the old rusted out member has been removed. Today, George was fussing with other parts and pieces that needed to be put in place before the new steel is welded in.  Truckin Jerry Saunders had a crew put together to do more work on 6000 series Chicago L cars. Motors were taken out and put back, and I think a truck swap completed by days end. Here one of the Clark trucks is on the pit in Barn 4, being prepared for installation. |
