Thursday, August 13. 2009Lake Shore Electric 810 Update August 12, 2009 New Letterboard George Clark has raised and positioned the first new letterboard on the north side of this traction trailer. Could a new roof be in its future? Thursday, August 13. 2009Cleveland PCC 4223 Update August 12, 2009 Priming After many years (15-20) of work on re-building this car, painting has begun! Here you see primer on the north side - most of the roof has been done. I use the term re-build rather than restore since a LOT is involved to repair deterioration and take the "Toronto" out of this car, bringing it back to Cleveland. Ed Waytula and Eric Lorenz have been leading this work.  In Service For those of you not familiar with the goal of repainting this car (and making it operational), here is an in service photo of sister car 4225 in Cleveland. Our car is a PCC built by Pullman in 1946, seating 53, and went to Toronto after serving in Cleveland, continuing in service there for many years. Thursday, August 6. 2009Milwaukee Streetcar 972 Update August 5, 2009 West End John Faulhaber is applying the first coat of finished orange to the west end.  West End The letterboard area looks good in orange. Note the very nice work done previously on the interior, seen through the end windows. |

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
