Sunday, March 10. 2013CTS 4223 Update - March 9, 2013We will start with some views of the new work going on in the Cleveland Transit System 4223 PCC car. In the old reports we explained how there are many layers of parts for the interior and windows which must go in a specific order. The critical delay was to have new window post caps made, after it was determined the old ones could not be salvaged and repaired to look and perform well. They have arrived and the team has wasted no time in installing.  Right Side Lorne Tweed is working on the right side of the car, forward of the center door. It is easy to see the finished look and large improvement. If only it was not so cold and damp in the barn I bet you would see more speed.  Right Side Rear Eric Lorenz was just as busy working on the post caps on the right side, to the rear of the center door.  Left Side Then Eric moved to the left side and began working his way forward. Six in a row installed in this image. At the very front and rear of the car and alongside the center door, these sheet metal caps are 'special' requiring more fitting and fussing. |

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?
