Tuesday, October 30. 2012CTS 4223 Update - October 27, 2012Here is a report from Lorne Tweed who has been working over one year with the crew on CTS 4223.  Assembly Eric Lorenz is at work assembling the many pieces for the roof trolley boards and electrical, the trolley base. You see him in the "well" which is a depression in the shroud that is the roof monitor on this PCC. It is a shame that all the fine work is basically hidden from the ground.  Done This is the view of the completed work. Lorne says: This weekend, Eric Lorenz (pictured) and Lorne Tweed were able to get the trolley pole base, fuse box, and lightning arrestor all installed on the top of the Cleveland Transit System 4223. Except for the trolley pole installation and some electrical connections, this finishes the work on this sub project. Many thanks to all of the volunteers that cleaned, painted, rebuilt, and fabricated these parts.
