Friday, August 31. 2012Wood Shop Update - August 29, 2012Here are a few shots I got as I passed through the shop this week.  New Letterboard One of the new letterboards has been installed on the north side of Lake Shore Electric 810. When the remaining pieces are done on this side, it will be on to the roof work. George Clark, Gerry Dettloff, and John Faulhaber worked on the project today.  Windows Rich Witt continues to restore windows for the Chicago Aurora & Elgin 36. It is not likely he will run out of work soon!  Seats Our upholstery wizard, John McKelvey, is working on the seats for Chicago Rapid Transit 1797. Plenty of repair work to be done, some totally recovered.  Plane Truth Buzz Morisette was working on the CGW X 38 snow plow earlier but here, he is planing new wood destined for our dynamometer car, MILW X 5000. |

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?
