Friday, May 4. 2012Wood Shop Update - May 2, 2012 Rocky Selfishly, I will show this here, as we continue to handpaint the famous "ROCKY" Great Northern herald on the right side of our hopper car, GN 70104. It may seem a random act but trust me there is method to the madness. The white needs two coats and that has been done on the goat and the four lower letters. Stay Tuned.  Exsiding Here is Lake Shore Electric 810 with the last of the new siding in place. Both sides and ends!  Clear Coat We would like to welcome back Mr. Richard Witt to the shop work, following knee replacement surgery. We all missed you Rich. Here he is applying clear coat to aluminum sash windows from Cleveland Transit System 4223, after they have been cleaned up.  Benchwork Jim Leonard was caught in the act of installing pieces of sheet metal for the rear seat bench and surrounding wall panels in the 4223.  Corner Piece Jim has just done the final fitting on this piece of corner trim, and is on his way to the car. Also on this project, we missed getting a pic of Simon Harrison who was laboring on cleanup of STILL MORE window track pieces.  Parts Henry Vincent was finding new treasures in a cache of parts and fasteners donated and sent by a member in Ohio. A belated thank you, Charley. There was still more car work being done on several projects including the CCW 300 steeple cab locomotive, CRT 1797 rapid transit car, and other work I am failing to recognize. |

Does Pony also have HEP and MU cabling installed? A dome coach would certainly do better in excursion service than a sleeper.

Since you have plenty of 645 part laying around, why hasn't anybody worked on the ATSF FP45? Also, when will you cosmetically restore SP 1518? I think [...]
