Wood Shop

Here are some quick images of work in the wood shop yesterday.  There was a lot more work going on on other projects, but little opportunity for me to record them.  The theme topic for today - WINDOWS!

New Wood

Roger Kramer worked all day in the wood shop, and brought some nice mahogany to the party.  He hopes to get many new windows fabricated in the shop this winter.

Parts

Roger processed those large slabs of wood into many smaller parts, destined to become rails and stiles for passenger car windows in IC 3996.  There are examples of three very different windows on the bench here.  Can you guess where these are from?  Regular readers here should have no trouble with this pop quiz.

Windows

Simon Harrison works to clean and refurbish aluminum framed windows for CTS 4223.  He and Lorne Tweed were kept busy all day on this and several other aspects of this ongoing project.

More Windows

Rich Witt began finish painting of several new windows that the shop made for Norfolk and Western 2050.  Yes, we work on Steam Projects also.

Window Templates

Victor Humphreys is working on cardboard templates for new cab windows for the N&W 2050.  John Faulhaber helped and I made a few trips to the locomotive also.  These are the rather odd shaped hinged windows facing forward from the engineer's and fireman's sides of the cab.  This is going to be TRICKY!
