Past two weekends work has continued on #358, primarily work on pulling some additional low voltage circuits for the class lights, step lights, and ditch lights. introduced a new member to the team in Phil Lopez, Phil’s first day was Saturday 6/27 at the shop and jumped right in with both feet. He has 8+ years of restoration experience at the Monticello Railway Museum – http://www.mrym.org/ – so he’s familiar with the ‘biz’.
Samantha worked on scraping out and sweeping up all the loose rust and paint chips from inside the long hood car body. A dirty, tedious job, but she took it head-on and did a great job. We’ll do some final prep to the nooks and crannies and likely shoot it with a coat of grey paint once we have the unit up and running, and before final paint on the outside.
