Thursday, October 27. 2011GN 70104 Update - October 26, 2011PARTY HEARTY!  The Gang We celebrated the milestone event of getting this car sandblasted and painted with a shop luncheon. THANKS TO EVERYONE. Lots of the volunteers helped on this, and none of the others were left out. The highlight of the lunch was 7 pints of gourmet ice cream donated by the local CULVER'S. Just think - pizza and ice cream. All of the five basic food groups were covered.  Trucks Ray Pollice started the process of cleaning the truck sideframes a few weeks ago, and Victor Humphreys added his efforts. Then it was time to apply primer.  Old Grime Nancy Ring is convalescing from a recent hospital procedure. What is the best way to do that? Come on out to IRM and wield a power wire brush to clean a truck on the hopper!  Reporting Marks I managed a little more painting on the hopper, adding this block of lettering for the reporting marks. We also added a second coat of white to more of the previous GREAT NORTHERN large letters. |

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?
