Thursday, November 25. 2010Wood Shop and Other News - November 24, 2010HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! There was only a skeleton crew on hand yesterday but still the work gets done.  The Plane Truth Pete Galayda and John Faulhaber are planing new timber for the decking to be installed on the west end of Charles City Western 300, our McGuire Cummings steeple cab locomotive.  That is a Switch Meanwhile, John Nelligan was in the 'laboratory' cleaning and restoring a very sinister looking double pole double throw knife switch from the same locomotive.  Shop Improvement Henry Vincent was installing a new woodworkers vise on one of our benches. Ask him about it - nothing is ever simple as it might look!  Molding John Faulhaber has a handful of molding we made for glass retainers on the new windows we are making for B&M 1094. This was another tricky project - to make assymetrical 1/4 by 5/16 quarter round. Randall Hicks was making continued progress on his work on CA&E 319, and I managed to make a few more new roof saddles for CA&E 451. |

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?
