These photos, taken by John Weiss, of Houston, TX, show the patterns he has made for the castings he will bring to Antonito in May for cleanup. Note that he has placed the correct part number on the pattern! The entire set of ductile iron castings is being donated to the Friends' passenger truck project by John who also donated his time in making these patterns. These photos reflect the skills/talents of our volunteers - working hard, even in the "off-season"!
