Monday, October 17. 2011ME 28 Update - October 16, 2011 End Roof We are often asked how a curved roof is constructed on the interurban cars. Here, Jeff Brady continues to show us, one thin strip of wood at a time.  Windows It must seem like half of the posts here are about windows. That may be true, but so do windows consume a lot of volunteer hours. Norm Krentel peeks out behind Ray Schmid as they are removing windows from the south side of the car, prepping to have them restored. Monday, October 17. 2011Track 31 Update - October 15-16, 2011There was a lot going on this weekend so I will post a few pics and short report on the project to rebuild 31 Track and some work on the turnouts leading there, to start out the posts this week.  Spiking New Switch Ties There was a large track crew on hand, here seen spiking in new switch ties at the first switch in Yard 3.  Replacing Switch Ties The old ties were pulled out and new ones slid in under the rails.  Tamping On Sunday a mechanized tamper ventured inside the dark confines of Barn 3 to make the first tamp on the new track and gravel. Adam Robillard was at the controls. |
