Unread postby Linda Smith » Sun May 25, 2014 12:08 pm

Today, we present a round-up of photos taken during the past few days of Work Session A activities. Our volunteers (especially Ed Lowrance) do not take holidays off!

Here is Ed's "potpourri" of photos!

The best way - Weld the brackets in place - Hard to see however the DBG has been watered down and the hose is still in the car!.jpg
The best way? Weld the brackets in place! This is hard to see, however, as the gondola has been watered down and the hose is still in the car.
the inside of DBG 769 is taking shape as final boards are bolted to the A frames. That was tricky - Just ask Tim Bristow and Bill Kepner!.jpg
The inside of Drop Bottom Gondola 769 takes shape as final boards are bolted to the "A" frames. This was tricky -- just ask Tim Bristow and Bill Kepner! Several side posts were faulty. Team Leader Warren Ringer (far right) is handling that while Jack Heiermann will bolt it into place. Tim Bristow's in the middle!

Thanks for the photos of the A-frames installed in the drop bottom gon. My auto shop kids who helped build them will get a kick out of seeing them put to use. Any photos of the finished A-frame?
