Monday, January 30. 2012CTS 4223 Update - January 28, 2012 Making Tracks Not exactly making them, but trying to make them new again. Lorne Tweed and Eric Lorenz are going over a pile of them, trying to set aside the hopeless ones. I think there are seven different varieties of these parts for ONE WINDOW, making the scope of this something north of 200 pieces.  Let There be Light On the carbody out in the barn, Eric Lorenz continues to install trim and more parts. The headlight is now complete visually, although a new reflector bowl inside and the bulb and wiring remain.  A Step Up The last of the two fold up steps to the roof have come back form the painter and are now installed just to the rear of the mid car exit doors. Eric checks the last screws to be sure they are secure.  Windows What would any of these posts be without the ubiquitous window work? Keith Letsche returned to the shop and is working on reducing the large pile of sash that remain to be cleaned, and coated with clear finish. |

The UP sticker could be for a truck trailer. The headlight is neat. However for the accuracy nut, the plow originally had a style of Pyle [...]

Zach, At this time we will not be offering "Take the Throttle" on 1630 this year. The issue is that, after not running for a number of years, we [...]
