Here are some recent pictures from our restoration projects on
WP668, our backyard caboose. Shown are: Chris and John welding in the new plate to
replace the damaged bay window*, constructing the new stairs, John putting
in the new electrical system, and me starting to paint the replacement markings.
We received the stencils and will be using them to paint the new
markings this week. I ordered the custom stencils from
Stencils Online.
* pictured is Chris Gremich “The Iron Expert” of CG Designs in San Jose,
