Wood Shop

The Rout to Success

Victor Humprheys is setting up the router as we get a little creative in using this tool for an unusual task.

Good Supervision is Important

Randy Hicks considers the job Greg Ceurvorst is doing to sand more windows for CA&E 319.

Prime Paint

Tim Peters has made up a wheelbarrow load of new trim pieces for the new clerestory windows (now installed) on CRT 1268.  And of course they all need painting to be ready to install as time goes by.

Dust Pickup

Another of our largely invisible ongoing work tasks is maintaining the shop and tooling.  Jerry Lynn trims and fits a new custom made dust pickup hood for our Delta HD shaper.  Earlier, he installed a new duct and drop for this machine.  THANK YOU, Jerry!

And a lot of other work was noted in the shop area, in spite of me not taking time out to snap pics.  Three additional new window sash were glued by Buzz M and Victor H for the MILW 01984 caboose.  More work on a new door by Bob K and Victor H.; the new CNS&M herald applied in Barn 2 to the NS 749; work continuing on the Cleveland PCC project; retriever/catcher cleaning and rebuilding by the trolley coach department; more condiut and wiring for the new shop space addition on Barn 4; and I am sure a bunch of work I did not mention or note here.

STEAM FANS - welding of the new tube sheet patch on the front end of the Shay was being done!!!
