Friday, May 1. 2009UP 25086 Update April 29, 2009Thanks to Kirk Warner for taking and sending photos of much of the ongoing work and recently accomplished work on this and other projects.  Below the Cupola Lee Regione works on the 'main floor' below the cupola as the crew gets ready for final trim and finish work inside this car.  In the Cupola Bob Payne is up in the cupola fussing and fitting some of the final trim pieces.  Interior Another shot of the interior. I know it seems rough but if you look closer a lot of the prep work for priming and painting has been done and only awaiting warmer weather. Friday, May 1. 2009Mystery Gauge - What is It?? Journal Bearing Gauge Well, a mystery nevertheless since we think we know what it is based on existing lettering. It is an INTERLOCKING JOURNAL BEARING WEAR LIMIT GAUGE; George White - maker - Jersey City. This has to be very old since it is adjustable down to a 3 3/4 x 7 bearing and the largest being only 5 x 9. Patent Applied For. This was generously donated by a friend in Coatesville, PA and now the question is how does it work, and how do we use it? Come on all you internet Sherlocks! How about a challenge? Tuesday, March 24. 2009Milwaukee Electric L 4 Update March 21, 2009In my absence, Buzz Morrisette has taken on the job of making new wood items to replace badly rotted parts on this locomotive.  Footboard Assembly Here, Buzz is making good progress on an all new footboard assembly for the locomotive pilot. Somewhat unusual, it is a one piece fabrication of white oak, compared to two simpler footboards to each side of the coupler. |

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?
