We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you some of the behind the scenes action in preparing these BLOG entries. Actually a production crew was on the campus with lighting, cameras, props, actors, caterers, etc to film an upcoming commercial for the Belk Department Stores - found in the southeast of the US. Probably over 40 people needed to make this relatively simple product. Here, they had taken over the depot platform, using the C&NW bilevels as backgorund and part of the scene.
Welcome back to Rich Witt, who was recently a 'victim' in a vehicle accident. He got banged up a bit, and is still pretty tender and limited in activity. But it was good to see him stop in. He has brought out some new tools for shop use, and John Faulhaber helps examine the plunder.
Most of you have followed along as a new lean-to shop addition was added to the southwest corner of Barn 4. Here, a B&G crew of three prepare the earth for a new concrete apron and pad, which could be poured later this week. Dave Diamond has the transit set up and is checking elevations.
