     Saturday (9/4)

Dave Crow, Ed and I steamed the wood trim for car 264 and applied it around the clearstory roof. The tight radius required to bend the wood can only be accomplished when the wood is wet. One method is to soak the wood in water for about a week and the other is to steam it for about one hour.

     The steamer was constructed using 4" pipe and the heater element used in a hot water heater. With about 2 gallons of water in the steamer, it generated a constant supply of steam, which filled the 10-foot pipe containing the molding. After the molding was installed the excess canvas was trimmed and a coat of linseed oil applied to the molding.

     Gene Carson, Buster Hughes and Mark Dawson continued to strip paint from car 3550.

     Dave Crow was Dispatcher with Dennis Falter and Carl Thistel as crew.

     Sunday (9/5)

     Ben Bates was Dispatcher with Carl Thistel and Chris Howell as crew.

     Dan Lawrence was Dispatcher with Mark Dawson, John Diefenbach and Chris Howell as crew for a charter group.

     Buster Huges, Mark and Gene continued stripping paint from 3550.

     Paul Ritterhoff, Ed and I moved 6119 on the pit and replaced the broken brake shoe with a new one that was cast from the pattern that Paul had built.
