Wood Shop

For a change of pace I will shake up the order in which I usually report things this time.

Fast Work

Last Saturday I mentioned about an upcoming project to extend the north (west) end of our Electric Trolley Bus line.  Less than a week later the grass and topsoil has been removed, and new crushed limestone sub grade spread and leveled.  The Thomas Event entry area will certainly look different this year.

All about Wood

Rich Witt is constructing a new fixture to be used on the Glen Springs windows and behind him Victor Humphreys is sanding panels for the new station door.  These are a bit tricky to be fit absolutely the best way we can.

Passenger Department

John Mc Kelvey has been doing a lot of work all related to his particular expertise in upholstering.  This week he has repaired and reupholstered a chair back for the INGLEHOME. Seen here, he is cutting the new fabric.

Welding Mysteries

Gerry Dettloff is helping out on the Lake Shore Electric 810.  Much of the structural woodwork has been repaired on the north side.  Now he is pulling down the tie rods within the side framing, one at a time, and welding threaded extensions on them.  The existing ends were so corroded and rust thinned as to be useless.  Hmm, he seems skeptical of my new camera.
