Monday, February 16. 2009CB&Q 504 update 2/15 Radiator shutters and screens have been installed This weekend some parts started going back onto the 504. On Saturday, the last coat of gray was sprayed on the engineers side shutters and screens. Joe did some work on the roof to begin prepping the area where the tanks and winterization hatch will get reinstalled. On Sunday, all the radiator shutters and screens that were recently painted were installed by Roger, Warren, Charlie, Kyle and Jamie. The next set of parts, including the dynamic brake intakes, were laid out to be cleaned, wiped, and painted. Additional photos can be viewed in the 504 restoration gallery. Thursday, February 12. 2009Another night of painting... Final coat on the hatch Along with some work on the L7 Thursday night, the 504 also had some of its parts painted. The short hood hatch had its final coat of gray sprayed on. The Engineers side radiator shutters and intake screens had the first coat of gray sprayed. Some touch up work was done to some smaller parts that will be bolted to the long hood. Additional photos can be viewed in the 504 gallery. Sunday, February 8. 2009CB&Q 504 update 2/8 Shutters and screens ready to be reinstalled.  Bottom of the
short hood hatch is painted. This weekend additional paint work has been done on the 504. The remaining two shutters and screens have been painted on the insides, outsides remain for next weekend. The overlap surfaces for the front hood hatch, and radiator shutters and screens have been painted. The underside of the front hood hatch has been painted. Roger and Kyle have done more fabrication on the rear hinged class lights, the inner rings that hold the lens in place has had a couple broken screws removed and another has been redrilled entirely. Stephanie continued cleaning the radiator fan guards. Next weekend we plan to complete the painting of the shutters and screens, and begin painting the dynamic brake louvers. We also plan to install the fireman's side shutters and screens which were completed a couple weeks ago. Additional photos from this weekend can be viewed in the CB&Q 504 picture gallery. We are always looking for additional help on the 504 and in the Diesel Shop. If you are interested in volunteering, please comment on this update and I'll be in contact with you. |
