Thursday, September 8. 2011B&O Wagon Top Update - September 7, 2011 Patches Victor Humphreys continued to install patches and do related body work throughout the day. He is a perfectionist, insisting on the finished work being almost invisible of the repairs.  How Does That Grab You Mike Alterio is installing new grab irons to replace those damaged and missing on the A end. This day two were complete - fabricated, installed, and primed.  Fixture Rich Witt has become a valued fixture in our shop, but in this case 'fixture' refers to the wooden oak form and jig being assembled. New volunteer in our shop, David Diaz helps on the task.  Bending As soon as the wood jig was done, we fit a steel custom made die assembly into the hydraulic press and began forming new caps for the ribs on the boxcar. Rich Witt is supplying the muscle to the pump. IT WORKED! And as I was leaving the crew were hard at work to have seven pieces made and complete. |
