Wayne Baksic is working to resize a bench seat cushion for the CNW 7700 passenger car. Shelly V (not pictured) also worked on this. Wayne is a jack of all trades and earlier he helped finish up the new dust pickup and grounding for the Delta HD shaper.
The Michigan Electric 28 crew was hard at work. Norm Krentel is behind the ductwork 'catching' stock as it is discharged from the planer. Jeff Brady moves to grab another panel to feed in, while Wayne Baksic looks on.
There was some additional shop work, fitting was completed for window number five, now ready to be glued and destined for our B&M 1094 passenger car, and some measurement and layout work on a new door.

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?
