Monday, December 12. 2011CTS 4223 Update - December 10, 2011 Installation The weather has turned much colder so work in the Barn means hats and coats. But a lot of the parts are going back on the car! Alex Randow seems to be enjoying a private joke, smiling broadly, as he runs a tap into the threaded holes in the side band mounting pads. This serves to clean them out - removing any paint accumulated inside these.  Strike Up the Band Alex, Eric Lorenz, and Lorne Tweed worked to mount each band. These are low on the car sides, and served as rub bands while negotiating the street traffic in Cleveland. There are a lot of machine screws to drive to complete the installation.  Left Side All bands are mounted on the left side. The final finish coat of paint will be applied after they are in place and when the weather warms up, or we can move the car to a warmer shop. More parts, including the retriever ring and retriever now appear on the car.  Windows Yes the inevitable "W" word. Lorne Tweed was cleaning and prepping more of the sash for the side windows. Will it never end? |

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?
