Sunday, May 23. 2010Cleveland 4223 Update - May 22, 2010 A Fitting End Or rather - fitting things to the end. Ed Waytula and Eric Lorenz are placing the headlight housing in the front end of the Cleveland PCC. Note above by the sign box, that two additional lights have been placed in the sockets. Tough lighting in this work area, but here is the next shot anyway.  Grinding It Out The sparks fly as Eric trims and fits the opening. I think the plan is to fit and install as many items as possible into the planned positions and openings, drilling holes as needed, and adjusting fit. These will then be removed for final paintwork. Sunday, May 23. 2010North Shore 749 Update - May 22, 2010 Watching Paint Dry Maybe even less dynamic than listening to grass grow. As we were on the way to another job we noticed that Buzz Morisette was beginning to apply the lettering to the 749. I asked Victor Humphreys to get into the image to provide some scale and 'human interest'. Here, the layout is done the backing removed, and the letter carrier is positioned on the car side. The halogen lamp provides some heat in the morning damp to help dry the process.  Application Buzz is seen here applying and positioning the carrier for a set of numbers on the end.  The Result Back to the first picture - after several hours in place it was time to peel back the carrier to see the results! |

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?
