Sunday, December 2. 2012Wood Shop Update - December 1, 2012As usual there was a lot of activity in all of our shops and barns. Here is just a short peek at what was happening in my area.  Wagon Top Victor Humphreys continues his steady assault on repairs to our B&O 374065 box car. He puts a lot of mileage on while 'commuting' from the shop to the car located on track 40. This is a piece of wood to be used in floor repairs. Victor wrote a very nice article in the latest RAIL & WIRE. Please heed it and help support the work using fund R374065.  Windows Every winter the shop becomes filled with window work. Eric Lorenz has been working to replace rubber gasketing and bottom bumpers on the sash for Cleveland Transit System 4223, our PCC car which is an ongoing and active project.  More Windows Yes the shop is officially named the wood shop, and we DO make a lot of sawdust. Tim Peters seems perplexed after he was walking by and we asked him to inspect some of the new windows being made for the Chicago Great Western X 38 snowplow. |

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?
