- Some 1357 required bolts not on hand so they were made - here threading them - Lunch prep in the background!
-
- More un-anticipated repairs on caboose 05635 including a new letter board
-
- The pink picnic tables are relaced and being painted box car red and will be taken to the Depot.
-
- When possible - historic wood is to be reused during restoration. 1357 had abut 10 useable pieces that are reinserted in the car.
-
- some of those through bolts holes didn't quite line up so a hot wrench is being utilized! Chuck Dueker is under the car
-
- Stock car 5995 is being painted and lettered - anticipated to be finished during session B
-
- Stenciling the potty car 3244 - Flying Rio Grande
-
- Hardworking 14 year old Remington Temple is joining his dad on the caboose 0503 restoration
-
- 05635 Repairs continue roof - windows - places where trapped water has rotted siding
-
- Smoking haot work enlarging the passage for long bolts on 1357

Thanks for the photos Ed, hopefully the internet inside the CRF is working for you now. I am THRILLED you refer to that caboose as the BOB TULLY Caboose, I hope the plaque is still inside letting riders know what a wonderful job Bob Tully did for that railroad.

Thanks Bill glad to hear it is still there, ya coming out again this summer?
I see most of the scroll work is still on the end rails of the Tully caboose. I hated that foo-foo, but Bob thought it would add class to that fancy replica caboose so weld I did. I wouldn't be sad in the least if we got permission to remove it now.

John: Good idea and the "Friends" should change out that stock car number and make it #1 to reflect the CATS first non historic caboose. Also, a Flying "Cumbers & Toltec" would be nice too! JMHO!!!!
