Roger...
Thanks so much for your pics of this incredible transformation of engine house and shop! Looks like Soni's influence is obvious. Makes me want to help with improvements.
One thing...see if you can get someone to clean the layers of soot off the INSIDE BOTTOM SURFACE of the dozen or so SKYLIGHTS in the engine house roof.
They are up there. But they are invisible, completely blackened out.
That would complete lightening the place up, I think.
While working in there last summer, I asked Ed if I could clean them, but there was no way to easily get up there.
That cherry picker the Friends used for telegraph work would have really done the trick.
