Greetings to All,
Les & Tom
Here are the photos from today. First one shows Cory and Dave (partially hidden) working on door in NKP kitchen car. Second is of Joe Baker working on electric at NKP kitchen car. The
third is of Fred Boyer grinding off old paint on levers in Grasselli Tower. Last is C&EI tool car #A-1054 with Rich Warner using torch to cut off rusted steel with Joe Kinsbury in the background working on putting insulation in between new floor joists.
Thanks to Les Beckman for taking pictures yesterday.
I sort of got down to HVRM later in the morning, upon arrival, in the shop, a crew
had taken off the old west end door on the kitchen car. I think John LaOrange
donated a uses door an it was being sized up to the old kitchen door. After many
ideas, a 2x4 was added to the bottom to extend the door length. Door brought back
to the kitchen car, inserted to see how it fit, exactly right. Now came chiseling out
wood for the hinges. With the door now attached, it still would not close, so shaving
off some of the other edge finally got the door to close. Installing the outer board
was much more difficult. The steel was extremely tough to drill thru, resulting in
broken drills. After what should only took 10 minutes, resulting over an hour
trying to get screws into the wood to the steel plate. Finally got it closed up.
Joe Baker got another LED light up to 16 foot outside of the kitchen car.
Fred Boyer an Les worked on grinding paint off the switch levers in the tower.
A slow tedious project.
Joe Kingsbury an Richard Warner worked on the LIRR coach electrical system
for the upcoming Santa trains. After lunch, they worked on the tool car in the shop
working on the floor insulation panels.
Just sort of a catch up day on little projects around the museum. Next Saturday
morning will be the monthly board meeting. The following Saturday will be the
membership meeting at 1pm in the depot.
The engineer program had at least 5 or 6 drivers for the day.
Take care, have a good week.
Les & Tom
