Trolley Bus Dept. Update 09/04/2010

Today we pulled out SF Fageol-Twin 614 for Howard Geier to work his buffing magic on the curb side.

”Before and After” Howard’s buffing – what a difference!

Howard hard at work

In the mean time, after a couple weeks of working, Richard Schauer was finally able to get the Seattle M-A-N 4020 going again and put away back in the Andersen Garage.

Richard in a familiar pose – underneath and working on the 4020

Not as dramatic as the first picture, but it REALLY looks nice in person. All the green sections of the coach are buffed out. Next the cream sections, followed by some wax and maybe a little touching up.

The coach shows MUCH nicer than when it arrived a year ago, thanks to Richard, Wally and Howard!!!

On a side note, thanks to everyone who has watched IRM-TV on YouTube. In a little over two days, the episodes have gotten a total of almost 700 hits already. Links can be found at www.irmtv.org. Other IRM and transit videos are also on my YouTube channel.
