On 053, the major accomplishment was to cut out a big portion of rotted side sill and spiced new wood in. We also prepared the 1/2" thick steel which will strengthen the sills. There were also a couple other things going on, but I forget what they were.
Next year we need some strong people to work on the frame. Volunteers anyone ?
I think, but don't hold me to it, that it has been determined 054 is not in good enough shape to travel to Antonito on the rails.
