Thursday, August 16. 2012Wood Shop Update - August 15, 2012 Cleveland PCC Rich Witt was back in the shop and helped out by applying finish paint to many of the parts needed on the roof of the 4223.  THE BIG NEWS The BIG NEWS of the day was the delivery of this pallet of castings. They are NEW brake shoes for the CSL 3142. This is one of our service cars that is reliable and sees a lot of mileage every year. As you might imagine, certain things have a way of wearing out. Notable - the brake shoes. This pic shows delivery of many shoes for that very car. It marks a milestone in a five year odyssey to get new shoes. We made a complicated pattern in our own shop, the pattern was lost at the foundry, the foundry fell on hard times and was re-organized, the pattern was found and revised after a test shoe was cast and sent to IRM, and FINALLY, we released the production order. This project certainly belongs under the header "Nothing is Ever Simple". Comments
