Or as Benny Hill used to say: "The hole boring business"
Since youz guyz brought up shop work, the Bridgton & Saco River flatcar project is moving along in Bay 2 of our shop.
Here are the new sills and stringers, being assembled on top of original WW&F flatcar 118. The timbers are upside down
because car frame work is assembled upside down for bolster installation.
I have been working on the iron parts for the car, here are a few of the stake pockets cleaned and ready for paint.
