| Greetings! Cold morning with a light snow. Wasn't sure if I was going to the museum today or not, but finally decided to scrape the snow off of the car and make the effort. It stayed in the teens all day today! Rich Warner and his friend, continued with the installation of the G gauge track in the gift shop area of the depot. The depot was warm at least. Joe Kingsbury, Joe Baker, Bill Dauber, Bob Jachim, Doug Kosloske, Randall Downs and Elmer Mannen continued work on MKT # 13383, our new open air flat car for riders. Joe and Elmer and others, have also been coming down on Wednesdays to work on the car. At least 2/3rds of the side posts have now been installed, along with other construction. Fred Boyer was wire wheeling the metal window frames on LIRR # 2937. Fred finished the windows on the south side of the car and moved over to the north side. Mike Koehler has had put some new Bondo on the sides of the car when he was here, so I grabbed the belt sander and tried to smooth out some of these patches. Lunch consisted of ham and bean soup, spaghetti, sausages on hot dog buns, blueberry muffins, cake slices and fresh fruit. Despite a torpedo heater and the wood stove going full blast, the temp never got above the mid-20's in the shop buildings. The cold finally got to us and things were wrapped up by 3:30 or so. Stay warm this week. And GO BEARS! Les |
