Another couple of Wednesday's of sucesses

The last couple of volunteer Wednesdays have been quite productive in the coach dept. The first Wednesday in June we had 9 people working on various projects From more needle chipping on the RI2612 and the 2555 to sandblasting of parts for the upholstering of seats to painting on the L&N diner. Here all some representative pictures and the people that made it happen.

Dan and Paul looking at a replacement brake beam for a RI coach

Austin and Loraine again chipping on the exterior of the 2612

Jane and John working on the RI seat reupholstery in barn 4 work shop

After everyone went home I took this picture of the 2612.

In the afternoon Jane work in the 2726 diner scraping some old paint off of the hallway ceiling

Jerry Boguse was painting in the kitchen of the 2726 diner. Can you smell the paint drying?

Lunch break The whole crew

Everybody is busy. From left to right Ray, Bob, Dan Bixler and Dan Boguse.

I forgot to include this picture a couple of weeks ago. Heres Paul having a laugh with Dennis D .

This last Wednesday was so busy I forgot to take some pictures. That day the crew completed the wall surface preparation on the 2555,and I started the installation of the wood window sills in the 2612. In the next couple of weeks I plan on starting a new project which will, eventually, place this coach back in limited service. I keep you posted. In the meantime...Please remember to send a donation for our newest passenger car, the Mt. Harvard! Thanks Roger

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?
