Henry Vincent is continuing to work on the train door for the 36. I haven't actually seen him in person for a couple of weeks, but it's good to know that someone we can trust is working on his own to get the job done. The rotted parts of the inner door have been filled, and the stiles for the outer door have been carefully lapped for the new pieces.
I spent the whole day in surface prep and painting in the 319, as usual. First there was white primer at the #2 bulkhead, as seen here.
And then first finish tan on the wall, sectors 25-28 and including part of the bulkhead. The first coat is thinned somewhat, partly because it's so cold. All in all, things are going well, and if anything better than I would have expected.
And in other exciting news, the guys finished assembling both trucks for the dome car Silver Pony. Before you know it, the body will be back on trucks.
