Monday, April 12. 2010Barn 9 and Barn 11 Tour - April 10, 2010More shots from the camera of Robert Kudder. Many of these are rarely seen or noticed by the working members as they are not prone to leaving the project at hand.  Front End One of the locos on display outdoors at IRM.  MILW 265  MILW 265 Above two shots in Barn 9, near the south doors, of the front end and fireman's side of MILW 265.  Needs Help This is almost an "ART SHOT" if it were not so sad. This is a very old ATSF boxcar, number 44043. At least it is now inside Barn 11 where some measure of protection is afforded from further deterioration.  UP 3786 Newly restored caboose UP 3786 is also inside Barn 11. Victor Humphreys was escorting a group from Whitehall, Michigan who ventured down here to see some of our work and discuss their caboose project.  MILW 01984 Many areas warranted closer inspection. Here is the mandatory group photo in front of MILW 01984 which is receiving a lot of attention so that it may once again serve riders at IRM. Note that Barn 11 is not open to the general public at this time. On Sunday we were visited by a 'delegation' from Logans Mill, Wisconsin who are involved in a MILW caboose restoration and again we were questioned about our techniques and were happy to show them around.
Monday, April 12. 2010Milwaukee Electric L4 Update - April 10, 2010Here is a shot from the camera of Robert Kudder of the old car shop area in Barn 4.  Footboards New finish paint is now on the second set of all new footboards constructed in the wood shop by Buzz Morisette. In the background see a stack of refinished windows destined for CA&E 319. Monday, April 12. 2010Wood Shop Update, Part 2 - April 10, 2010Another shot from the camera of Robert Kudder.  Gluing Bill Moran, Rich Witt and Bob Kutella are assembling a new sash for the 451, note glue already applied to the top tenon. Let's see, slot B gets tab C, or was it the other way around? |

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?
