Thursday, January 18. 2018Active work force in Barn 4 annex
Another cold week here at Irm but that does stop the progress of building and repairing pieces for the historic equipment and facilities. I didn't cover everything in the car shop but got some of the highlights. Take a look!
 Randy Hicks, from the Hicks Blog, is priming the entrance door to the 36  These are the stairs to the C A and E 451. Paint is being applied so that they can be installed.  This also belongs to the 451. Its the front pilot to the 451 Once both the stairs and pilot are installed the 451 might be used in limited operation.  This is a window that I just painted . Its from the Mount Harvard and should be installed this Spring.  Part of the coach department work area.  Tim must be having a real good day He smiled for the camera  Jack worked on the GBW 109 even without heat. We do have many, many dedicated volunteers willing to work on their project even in the cold weather.  On Saturday Charlie and his Dad, Paul, stopped by in the afternoon and worked on a few windows from Jacks project, the 109. |
