Friday, February 25. 2011Steam Shop ViewsAgain we are indebted to Roger Kramer for sending these images, taken when he visited the steam shop this week. It is a tough environment to get really good images, but I think you may be interested nevertheless.  428 Wheels As reported elsewhere, two driver sets have been removed from UP 428 using our drop pit. Here are the guilty parties!  Naked The locomotive lower portion shows one driver set remaining in this view, and the empty 'pocket' in the frame behind it, with the driver and bearings removed.  Support Equipment Not all the work is on rail equipment solely, as it takes a lot of tools and other stuff to keep the wheels rolling. The shop crew is doing needed maintenance over the winter on this SULLAIR compressor. Friday, February 25. 2011Wood Shop Update - February 16, 2011 PART TWOHere are a few more images sent from the camera of Roger Kramer. I appreciate any info and images from our reporters in the field, and hope all you readers do, also.  Ripping Buzz Morisette was ripping mahogany for new trim pieces to be used in the diner interior restoration. What a shame to cut those wide clear planks into little strips - or is it?  Pieces Here is Roger himself after I had left the shop. Several folks contributed to the progress during the day for new windows for IC 3996. They make quite a stack of wood, gathered on the bench in front of Roger. The next steps are really going to start to show some visible progress. Cut the tenons and then start fitting each frame together. |

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?
