Tuesday, March 26. 2013Progress in Second Exhibit Car in Yard 5In December of 2012 work started on the 2nd Exhibit car in Yard 5. Thanks goes to Max Tyms for getting electricity functional in the car, then Jerry got the heat going properly so that work could continue through the winter. Ray Mormann and Mike Baksic got lights going; they took out the old track lighting and put in some new track lighting and can lighting. Winter work done by Jon Habegger, Shelly Vanderschaegen, Mike, Wayne, Ray, and Mark includes patching then sanding and feathering the walls. Wayne Baksic and Mark Gellman installed the corner molding and other trim. Mike and Ray modified the TV cabinet area to accommodate newer equipment. While still sanding, outlets were modified for visitor safety. Most of the sanding is now done so the car has been cleared of debris. Between the two cars there is a gap, Wayne made a platform for visitor safety.

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel
