Friday, November 28. 2014Railroad China Display Update from Sunday November 23rdOn Sunday, November 23, 2014, work continued on the railroad china display in the 1st Exhibit Car. Patrice Connelly again joined the crew to advise and help direct the set-up of the exhibit. Last week the team made paper plate "china" which could be taped to the glass of the display case. This week they got down to business placing that "china" on the glass. By the end of the day the first glass shelf and china was placed in the cabinet. This is just the start of the work to mount the china.
