Friday, February 8. 2013The Ely, The Continuing Story...The ceiling of the ELY is finally progressing to the point where new ceiling panels are being installed. Buzz and Shelly are accomplishing most of the upgrade. The first picture, just for a review of the progress, shows what the ceiling looked like a couple of weeks ago. Now to the latest efforts. Last Sunday, Shelly painted the roof boards a dark brown color to protect them from the future elements. Next, the reader can see Buzz at work installing the first white panel. It's not easy working over head especially when it's cold outside and in the car. We do have an electric heater but it does not really warm the car.  Repairs being made  Repairs complete in this area These last few pictures give you an idea how much has been accomplished.  Its finally painted  Shelly did a great job of painting, Buzz  Buzz, please keep holding that panel up there  Panel inserted and fastened to ceiling boards Nice Job The ELY last ran on a railroad as Nevada Northern 10 Please consider making a donation to the Ely Fund!
