Monday, February 1. 2010Website stats for January 2010Below are some general stats for the IRM website:
Monday, February 1. 2010Wood Shop Update - January 31, 2010 Sand Springs 68 Barb Lanphier is checking a new window just glued up and destined for the SS 68. It is good to see her back on site and getting around pretty well after knee surgery in 2009.  Caboose Window Buzz Morisette was there continuing on new windows for the MILW 01984 caboose. At day's end three new frames were fitted, glued up, and in the press clamped overnight.  Lettering And for you fans of the Trolleyville cars, Frank Hicks is working on lettering tracings for the CA&E 451, where FUTURA style numbers were discovered underneath the CP&SW paint scheme. Other work not pictured included Shelly Vanderschaegen painting passenger car seat frames and Phil Stepek receiving new glass number plate inserts for the CNW 9934. These are ready for painting the black background and should be complete and ready to install with the anticipated warmer weather . . . . 3-4 months? Monday, February 1. 2010Michigan Electric 28 Update - January 31, 2010 Shaper Jeff Brady and I spent a fair amount of the afternoon working to manufacture raised panels for the new baggage doors. Jeff designed and purchased custom ground cutter tooling to be able to reproduce the needed profile. Then it was on to the shaper. One problem or 'challenge' after another was solved in an effort to support the work and guide it through the machine. We were working with a setup panel and Jeff is shown removing that from a run through the shaper. We THINK that a few more changes and construction of a jig will make this phase complete. |

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?
