There was not a lot of activity since much of the crew was on a field trip to East Troy to try to rescue parts form two more cars that they are scrapping.
But we saw Buzz Morissette making a new set of footboards for the L 4, and later helping with the workshop Barn 4 addition; Tim Peters continuing flashing the roof on the CRT 1268, DIck Lukin painting two threshold castings for a CTA 4000, and two volunteers making sawdust.
Rich Witt is trying his hand running stock through the table saw with assistance by Dick Lukin. A total of twenty new rails and stiles sits on the jointer table to the right of Dick, these destined for B&M 1094 in the Coach Department.
Here is a pic taken by Kirk Warner last Wednesday of the completed lettering on the A End. Just like an exclamation point at the end of a sentence, finishing the last of the work on this car before winter grips us in its icy fingers - well you get the idea. A goal set and met.

Exciting to see a new barn going up! What's next, after the RAIL project is complete?

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?
