Wood Shop

It was a very busy weekend on many fronts at IRM so I will combine these few pics in a report covering both days.  Sunday we changed direction and my shop time was cut short as we operated the Sand Springs 68 in a rare winter move going 'wrong way' around the car line to get to Barn 8. 

Electric Park

Here is a Gwyn Stupar photo of the car waiting at Electric Park.  The motors on the 68 were dragging through the deep drifts despite following the NS 749 which led the way to break the heavy snow banks and push them aside.

Smooth

Warren Lloyd and Victor Humphreys are finish sanding five windows for B&M 1094.  This marked our first use of the Berlin sander since some much needed maintenance a few weeks ago.  No problems noted, and by day's end all work in the shop was completed on these five windows.

A Close Fit

Buzz Morisette was fitting yet more parts for windows for the MILW 01984 caboose.  At the end of the day four more sash were fitted, glued , and in the press.  That makes all ten new windows ready for finish work.

Where the Elite Meet

There is always time to discuss plans for the day.  Shown are (l to r) Dave Fullerton, Stan Wdowikowski, Greg, Dick Lukin, and Warren Lloyd.

A Dry Fit

Jeff Brady is 'dry fitting' all the parts for one of the new baggage doors on the ME 28.  It won't be long now before the glue is mixed and then on to the second door.
