Wood Shop

New Tenant

No, this is not the new paint scheme for CTS 4223 which has occupied this spot in Barn 4 for many years.  The Cleveland car has moved to Barn 2 for more paint work, and in its place sits Shaker Heights 63, which has already seen some restoration work in progress.

Framing Repairs

George Clark is repairing posts and framing to allow the new wood side sill to be installed on Lake Shore Electric 810.

Shedding Some Light

This is a Crouse Hinds headlight housing which saw applications on many transit vehicles.  We have searched in vain for many years for replacement and repair parts.  Frank Sirinek is the contact for this project.  But we have a lead on a replacement clear diffuser ring which goes into the housing, so were taking measurements and making a drawing.

Windows

Work moves into a higher gear on two new windows for B&M 1094 with the arrival in the shop of new stock.  Rich Witt works on a cutting plan to yield the maximum parts.

An Old Saw

Not a stale sobriquet, but John Faulhaber and Rich Witt double check sizes and settings before ripping parts from a piece of mahogany.

The Super

Ted Anderson is funding and directing the work on the new windows, and he stopped in to examine and approve the work in progress
