Sunday, April 28. 2013Wood Shop Update - April 27, 2013While we were outdoors working on the plow, here are some 'drive-by' images I managed to take.  Light Sockets Bill Wulfert was carefully polishing and cleaning porcelain light sockets and the various copper and brass innards. These are to be used and re-installed for the 50th Avenue station lighting.  Door Hardware Randy Hicks continues his work on the train door restoration for Chicago Aurora & Elgin 36. He is installing restored and cleaned shiny brass door hardware. Alas - he says they will be painted to be period correct..  Next Seat John McKelvey continues on upholstering the next seat cushion for the LAKE CITY.  Interior Ad Panel A new work assignment for Bill Peterson - he is cleaning and wire brushing old paint and rust from another of the steel ad panels for the interior of Cleveland Transit System 4223.  Engineering Rich Witt is back at the drafting table, preparing drawings for three new wood sash to be made in the shop. These destined for some of our heavyweight Pullman Passenger cars. |
