Monday, January 9. 2012Wood Shop Update - Jamuary 7-8, 2012 Between the Doors We found Bill Wulfert working in the shop area known as TIM PETER"S RAPID TRANSIT department, and caught him off guard looking between some CRT 1797 doors that have been restored and look about ready to go back on the car.  Windows Of course, windows seem to be a perennial topic or theme of ongoing work. Jon Fenlaciki worked on additional windows he is restoring for Chicago Aurora & Elgin 451. He has done MANY, MANY of these and the end is in sight!  Windows You guessed it! More window work as Ray Schmid works on another coat of clear varnish for two restored sash to be installed in Michigan Electric 28.  Truck Work Jeff Brady has been working on the truck rebuilding for one of our TMS project cars, Milwaukee Electric 972. More disassembly work in almost infinite detail reveals that pins and bushings need to be renewed. These are hardened sleeves and - er - pins that join things like levers and castings which need to move freely in the completed truck assembly. Brake rigging is an example. |
