Wood Shop

Windows Everywhere

Victor Humphreys works to get green interior cab paint on eight new windows for Norfolk & Western 2050.  You can also see a whole lot of new beading strips that were made, and of course those all get painted before glazing the frames.  Some progress was also made ripping, planing and sawing pieces for two more new windows for the locomotive.

Work was finished on a new door for the C&NW 10304 caboose and the door installed by Victor.

Cab Parts

Pete Galayda has fabricated new parts to go into the cab interior for Charles City Western 300.  Now primed, look for them to get the finish gray enamel soon.  John Nelligan crawled into the far recesses of the hood and managed to extract a control resistor which proved to be good!

Other work in the shop included Rich Witt doing the finish work on two new window frames for the GLEN SPRINGS.  Frames have been fit to the openings, tails on the stiles trimmed, bevels cut on the bottom.  Rich worked to use a router with a special jig he developed to plow out pockets for the lift hardware.  Rich has scheduled surgery for a knee replacement after the first of the year and we all wish him a successful process, less pain, more mobility, and a speedy recovery!
