Rich Witt made a rare Sunday visit to the shop and fit all the thin beading strips needed to mount the glass. Then later, he proceeded to begin applying the first coat of finished red paint, since this is slated for CA&E 409.
George Clark was working on the Lake Shore Electric 810, I managed some more repair work on the SS 68, Kevin Tudor and family glazed two windows for the C&IM coach, and we also did a clipper lacing splice on a leather drive belt for the steam shop.
Ray Schmid was busy mounting a lot of the many hardware and trim items for the new baggage door, number two.
And Jeff Brady was also carefully measuring, drilling holes and getting everything mounted.

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?
