Happy New Year! Here are a few of the things our volunteers will be working on this Saturday at the museum. New hands are always welcome to join us as we volunteer year round.
- Restoration Building Cleanup.
We need to continue to cleanup the restoration building in preparation for constructing the pit this spring.
Contact: Dave Scheiderich
- LV Caboose 95100 Restoration.
Continued needle scaling needs to be done. Car is inside our shop and closed in so it can be heated allowing you to work in comfort. Upcoming on this project will be some metal replacement on the exterior of the car. Do you have metal fabrication or welding skills and would be willing to help us? It would be much appreciated as we work hard to keep this restoration project moving along.
Contact: Joe Nugent
- TC Flat Rebuild.
This winter we are going to rebuild one of our work cars including the replacement of some of the structural wood timbers.
Contact: Dave Scheiderich
- Depot Basement Drainage.
Last month drainage for the depot basement was installed, but work remains to be completed to properly plumb it into the basement.
Contact: Rob Burz
Other projects looking for skills to help:
** Pipe fitting: ex-Rochester Gas & Electric GE 110-tonner #8 is in our shop and has recently received new air tanks. Those tanks now need to be plumbed into place. While we have some resources in house, additional pipe fitting capabilities would be very welcome to help keep this project moving along.
** Sheet metal work & welding: Along with metal work on Lehigh Valley caboose #95100, there is also work on ex-RG&E locomotive #8. We have some cab sheet metal that has been removed and needs to be replaced. Additional sheet metal and welding skills would be welcome to again help keep this project moving along. The museum has both a Miller MIG welder and plasma cutter available.
Thanks for looking! Any questions are welcome!
