B&SR Box Car 56 - Official Work Thread
Ted Miles:
Has a decision been made about what trucks will go under that car? I thought some freight trucks from under at passenger car were going under the #56; but I think that project has gone in another direction. I am looking forward to seeing the B&SR #56 out on the rails! TM WW&F Member

Stunning in Red!

A few photos from today. the second day of Fall Work Weekend.

The boxcar received a second coat of red paint today.
Bill Reidy:
A couple of photos from yesterday, Saturday, November 11th. Marcel has been busy completing the metalwork (grab bars) for the car. His work yesterday focused on reproducing the shape of this grab bar, on one end of the car. A matching grab bar was needed for the other end of the car.
Marcel found another available grab bar that was about the right length. Here he's heating the bar to make the right bends. Amazingly (at least to me), his first test fit matched the required bolt pattern.
Bill Reidy:
Marcel Levesque test fitting No. 56's brake rod today before final assembly. Zack Wyllie looks on, as the invisible man (Dave Buczkowski) holds the ladder.
