Greetings -
Very rainy all day today with the winds increasing as the day went on. Temps were in the mid-40's and then slowly fell. Meanwhile, work went on at the museum.
The first photo shows a cap made for HVRM in celebration of the ongoing work on Chicago and & North Western boxcar # 284. Neat cap!
Speaking of C&NW # 284, Mark Knebel has continued working on the lettering in the East Annex of the Shop building. The second shot shows the nearly finished lettering on the side of the car with the "400 Streamliners" lettering. Mark has another coat of white paint to apply on the "400" part. Looking sharp! The third photo shows Mark masking some of the smaller lettering before spraying.
Meanwhile, Joe Kingsbury was up on the top of ND&W # 5332, removing old paint as shown in the 4th photo. Note that some of the Porter diesel has now been primed.
There was supposed to be a membership/business meeting today, but the raw weather kept some members home and a Quorum was not present. Those that were in attendance had a long discussion on the possibility of securing some composite ties.
Finally, John LaOrange, Rich Warner and Cory Bennett worked on the oil pump on G.E. diesel # 11. The fifth photo shows John working on the pump while Rich observes from below. The pump was eventually removed, fixed and was being reinstalled in the unit when I left for home.
Have a good week everyone. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Les
