Sunday, March 13. 2011Wood Shop Update - March 12, 2011 Windows Greg Ceurvorst, John Faulhaber, and Fred Zimmerman are discussing the days work - what else - more windows!  Villa Falls Greg was doing some finish sanding on the new Villa Falls windows. Earlier, he, Fred and Victor Humphreys moved some structural steel from the Barn 4 floor to inside the B&O boxcar.  The Old Grind Fred and Victor were repairing another step well for the ATSF caboose. Fred is all suited up and the sparks are flying!  New Sill Randy Hicks has just completed some tricky notches for a new poplar window sill for the IT cars undergoing repairs in Barn 4.  Re-assembled Earlier, Randy completed post repairs on the IT 277. There was a lot of woodwork and tricky parts to replace rotted members, under that wide window post steel plate.  Sign of the Times Or rather - sign box of the times. Mike Stauber and Frank Sirinek have removed the front signbox from the Kansas City PCC and they had it in the shop. Disassembly, cleanup and repairs ensued. Done with that stage, it is ready for primer and repainting. |

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?
