Wood Shop

This entry will be for general interest work I saw on site today, and perhaps one surprise pic.

Childrens Boxcar

John Faulhaber made some slight adjustments and finishing touches, then went on to prime the car.

Interior Paneling

Lorne Tweed is making good progress on the Cleveland Transit System 4223 interior behind the rear door.  Several pieces are test fit here, including one piece, new from the fabricator just today.

Sign Box

In the above pic you may notice a void or empty space just to the rear of the rear door.  The rear sign box will be mounted here as shown by Lorne.  It fits like a glove!

Window Tracks

Of course there is usually more than one person working on any of our projects.  Simon Harrison is installing window tracks, two for each window.  Slow work to be sure - the process, not Simon.

View From the Top

Here is pic of our B&O 374065 wagon top boxcar from an angle not usually seen.  In this case from the top of the adjacent CGW X 38 snow plow.  During the day, Victor Humphreys worked on this car, installing a repaired side door threshold plate.

Bending Jig

Jeff Brady and Norm Krentel are making a sturdy bending jig while just outside the door, a steam generator is 'cooking' a piece of white oak.  The result we hope for is a nicely contoured runner for new roof mats for Michigan Electric 28
