Thursday, April 15. 2010Wood Shop Update - April 14, 2010 CAE Sash Bruce Plaxton and John Faulhaber have just glued and assembled another new sash for the CA&E cars.  Enough Left Is there enough left to take accurate measurements for new cupola sash for the IC 9792 caboose? Some would debate that statement. But Rich Witt puzzles over a well rotted piece as he works to document the old parts and provide a working drawing for making new ones.  Tenons Bruce Plaxton and Rich Witt trim tenons to fit on the last of 12 new sash for the CA&E cars - 4 for the 451, 4 for the 460, and 4 for the 409.  Rattan Seats Not exactly in the wood shop but in the new Barn 4 addition for the last two pics for this entry. Frank Sirinek examines a set of reconditioned seat cushions that Tim Peters 'processed' for CRT 1268.  Ruins Henry Vincent is toiling to re-create some 'ruins' in northern Italy. In this case a representation of the Cassino area after bombing. These sets will be used in the upcoming WW II re-enactments over Memorial Day Weekend. |

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?
