Passenger Car Department

The weather has been getting warmer, although Friday saw snow showers in many locations.   I and our 2612 crew have again been busy working towards getting the coach ready for "Thomas".  This three day work event started off May 13th when  I finished masking a section of the wall and  painted it in the same day.  Then, on Wednesday, the team spent one day prepping walls. Thursday, I came back and painted  the door.  Here are those events recorded in pictures for you to view. The 14th we had 5 volunteers working on the coach and you could see the old paint flying off the walls.     

         Memorial day is almost here so please consider joining our  2612 crew for some friendly activities.    I'll be at the site Saturday as well as Sunday to show you around and help you get started!    

         This year you have an added incentive to visit Irm for the Frisco 1630 2-10-0 will be running , this Saturday, for the first time.                                           Ed. note   This is the first time it has operated in many a  year  so please expect a few situations to work out the "Bugs."    Please THANK any and all members of the Steam Team, you may meet, for their hard work and devotion in returning  the 1630 to operation.         Special THANKS to Tom Schneider, the curator of the department.                  Roger
