Coach 8 - Official Work Thread

[Bill Baskerville]

There certainly are windows in the doors.   One has been installed for several years this is the second to allow access to both sides if necessary.

Interestingly, I looked at the date on the page two post when I finished the two doors, which was March 2017.  So getting both handicapped/baggage doors installed on coach 8 has been a 7 year process.

We may be slow, but we are good!  And, we eventually make progress and complete our tasks.

Will Coach 3 receive the same paint scheme?

Will Coach 3 receive the same paint scheme?

All of the coaches will (eventually) be painted to match the color as researched and confirmed as the 'original' color used by the W&Q as-built. So yes.

I've heard tale of work on Coach 8 happening this weekend, what kinds of work is on the docket? Is there gonna be work for someone who isn't a woodworker to join in the fun?

Coach 8 windows are all out and have had one coat of paint. They need to be sanded and varnished on the inside, then re-installed.

The outside was partially sanded when I left yesterday. That needs to be finished, then it needs paint.

Eric was also straightening up the platform railings, that needs to be finished, then painted.

I am not sure what else Eric wants to get done.
