Brakes, couplers, and trucks had to be installed. Our dedicated team spent much of the fall of 2020 and the spring of 2021 in the CRF in Antonito preparing it to ride the rails safely. Don Atkinson was part of the team and kindly provided the photographs that I am using for this blog. We are continuing where we left off in September 2020.</p><p>There was one more work session the first week of November, 2020.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTDLiZl8zQuvUsLqbhDvHu2oRZV5i6cJ_J49ktQRkSIO1Sp41nZb4lE_uDuzzmD0ehw_C6vE9RQ25nIBKQD0clOMC3h6t2FeWoML-nFYCSPTt4zCz6l3VDI7mzL4n6f-EN_nI05NZpta1NGEIqV1KF2Pl94TrWJsA6cJImIn1nhZCF9vVEQLXv4gBEeA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2100" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTDLiZl8zQuvUsLqbhDvHu2oRZV5i6cJ_J49ktQRkSIO1Sp41nZb4lE_uDuzzmD0ehw_C6vE9RQ25nIBKQD0clOMC3h6t2FeWoML-nFYCSPTt4zCz6l3VDI7mzL4n6f-EN_nI05NZpta1NGEIqV1KF2Pl94TrWJsA6cJImIn1nhZCF9vVEQLXv4gBEeA" width="320" /></a></div>Randy Q. and Bill K. did most of the work on the air brakes.

As many of you know the move was completed on schedule on 18-19 September. In this post we will review the efforts and accomplishments that allowed this to happen during the month of August.</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBLuJYBiJDeU7EE6UWGZqkLBmWzp7dvmbTaE8Sc3LlWJYSDxoQ2N5m4oFMoMdo0s-4DZpXQwXV1ND00I4DG_Zp7Mo2Q7i4C-CeWRerkNp0rVBRX8qeuk_tC1abR9BSEwWEpaVSvcKQYbM-/s2048/PICT0006b.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBLuJYBiJDeU7EE6UWGZqkLBmWzp7dvmbTaE8Sc3LlWJYSDxoQ2N5m4oFMoMdo0s-4DZpXQwXV1ND00I4DG_Zp7Mo2Q7i4C-CeWRerkNp0rVBRX8qeuk_tC1abR9BSEwWEpaVSvcKQYbM-/s320/PICT0006b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><br /><p>Dean, as one of the younger people in our group, took over the work on the clerestory.

However, we had to observe protective practices, including wearing masks and gloves, and maintaining social distances as much as possible. Our group is not prone to bar-hopping and protesting so we feel fairly safe. We went to a 2-day, every other week schedule so have been able to accomplish quite a lot. Plans now are to move 470 to Antonito in the middle of September.<br />

In this photo Dean is working on one of the brass fittings on a seat back. In the lower right area of the picture can be seen a wooden rail extending from the seat behind Dean to the seat in front of him (not included in the photo). There will be one of these on the other side (aisle side) as well which will support the seats when in the position for reclining.<br />

These rails are supported by metal hangers attached to the seat framing. This photo shows one of the hangers clamped in position ready for drilling and inserting screws. The tab pointing downward can be snapped up to hold the rail in place.<br />

This is a view of one of the panes from the inside. (Click on it to enlarge.) We had one pane available from which the design was copied and etched into the others. I do not know who created the design but the Arts and Crafts movement was beginning when the car was built, which emphasized aesthetics as well as function. The rest of the interior is quite spartan, but the woodwork is beautiful nonetheless.<br />

Photographs show louvered screens in the upper sections of the lower windows to provide protection from the sun. Note also the vents in the roof over the men's lavatory area. The one on the left is over the toilet. The middle one pulls air out of the car when it is moving. The one on the right is for access to fill the hand washing tanks. More on these later.<br />

A closeup of the hardware. Originally the window could be tilted open toward the inside of the car and the notches in the fan-shaped piece would hold it open to various degrees. It has been decided that these windows will not be opened but will retain the original look.<br />

We had a "mini" work session in Craig's shop to make the berth platforms. He had a piece of plywood cut to the size and shape of the platforms with a panel saw. There was some slight variation in sizes of the different platforms so each was labelled. We first laid out the three frame pieces, one at each end and one in the middle. Craig and Dean are starting a new platform.<br />

Plans are in place during 50th anniversary celebration of the C&TS to run 470 on special trains, so not only must we finish the interior but trucks, brakes, couplers, etc. must be installed, the latter being done in Antonito.<br />

Getting the geometry right for the upper berths was a bit of a challenge. They had to rest on the brass fixture on the posts when down as well as clear the curtain rods above and meet the edge of the clerestory where they will be fastened when raised. Craig made a partial pattern to check the dimensions, here in the down position with the hinge held in approximate location on the wall.<br />

<br />
Assembly of the seats was completed and considerable progress was made on the partitions between the seats. Flashing on the clerestory windows progressed nicely and installation of hardware on the lower windows was begun. Also wind damage to the protective structure was repaired.<br />

Dean is working on seat assembly near the end of the car. It seemed to be easier to put one of the frames on the floor, fit the cross braces, then place the second frame on top.<br />

We started work at the west end of the car and this photo shows several seat assemblies in place, as well as some of the partitions between the seats partially constructed. The photos on the seats are used for guides in the rebuild along with plans that are available, the Carbuilder's Cyclopedia, sister cars, and other sources. The photos are also used as displays on tours that come through the Trolley Museum.<br />

The window hardware installation was begun. On the window sill on the left is a latch that goes on the side of the window to hold it open. There are several stops to have them open different amounts for ventilation. On the right is a hook shaped handle to lift the window up which goes on the tab in the center on the bottom of the window frame.<br />

When new these cars had a cord running the length hanging from the ceiling to be used to stop the train in an emergency. Air is released from the brake lines and the train comes to a sudden stop. The cord was suspended by leather straps with brass hardware on each end. In this photo there are three straps between the chandeliers.<br />

Much effort was directed to the interior of the car but work also continued on the clerestory window flashing. In addition the ends of the protective structure sustained wind damage and the west end panel was removed and sent for repairs.<br />

This part of the drawing shows the northeast corner of the car with the "Gents' Saloon" in the corner. It is larger than the ladies'facility but unheated. There is a straight wall adjacent to the toilet and on the other side of the wall to the right is a water tank and wash basin. The oval structure to the far right in this space is labelled "Cooler." There is another wall between the cooler and the seat.<br />

Finally, the protective structure for the car sustained wind damage with the seams fastening the zippers to the fabric tearing out. This photo shows the removal of the west end which was sent for repairs.<br />

Now the main part of the fabric has to be brought out over the end arch and tacked down.<br />

Much of the hardware for the interior has been obtained. Also work continues on the roof with the fabrication and installation of the copper flashing around the clerestory windows.<br />

We received the castings for the seat posts from John Weiss who designed the pattern and had them cast. The right (cloverleaf) side attaches to the wall above the seats and the left is shaped to receive the post attached to a seat.<br />

This shows more brass pieces that Ron has made. The two pieces on the left are for the bell cord that runs the length of the car. The top one attaches to the ceiling of the car and holds a leather strap that is attached to the bottom one. The cord passes through the ring on the bottom piece and rests on the pulley. The cord extends the length of the train and is attached to a bell in the locomotive cab to signal the engineer. The top right piece is a door pull for the sliding doors between seats. The bottom right is a catch for holding the upper berths in the up position. The center piece attaches to the bottom corner of the upper berths and rests on the oval brass piece when the berths are in the down position.<br />
<br />
Thanks, Ron!<br />

We missed a few work sessions in May and June because of activities on the railroad in Chama and Antonito.<br />

Prior to applying the sealant to the floor the wall was taped, I believe by Mike in this photo.<br />

The floor was sprayed with a clear sealer between work sessions and this photo shows the resulting finish. It was covered very soon after with a heavy paper to protect it.<br />

Craig, Don, and Ron are discussing how to proceed with assembling the seats. This frame will be fastened to the outside wall of the car, and has had the legs removed as it will rest on a ledge that extends along the side of the car's interior.<br />

Craig assembled a prototype seat and back which are shown here inserted into the groove in the frame. The piece of wood on the right will be screwed to the tops of the two frames to hold them together.<br />

Ron has been busy making hardware while in Arizona this last winter (more on this later). These are brass caps that go on the corners of the seat backs. The round peg fits in the groove of the seat frame and allows the back to move from an erect to flat position.<br />

In this photo the seat and back are in the flat position for sleeping. There would be a facing seat in a similar position to make a bed. It was BYO bedding back in the day. The other two people would have a drop down platform for an upper bunk over the seats.<br />

It turns out that the seat backs did not move smoothly in the grooves from the flat to upright position and back again. Some "adjustments" had to be made by removing some metal at the corners of the frame grooves. Here Don is cutting some of the obstructing metal with a grinder.<br />

The peg on the seat back had to negotiate this corner to go from the flat to the upright position. The angular projections caused it to hang up so it did not move easily.<br />

This photo shows a seat frame in place with the outside of the frame resting on a narrow ledge and the inside of the frame supported by the legs on the floor. Note the angulation of the legs to allow more room in the aisle for feet. The ledge is difficult to see in this photo, but is made up of the truss plank which runs the length of the car, covered with oak panelling.<br />

Ron has been busy making prototypes of hardware for the seat assemblies. Here he is explaining to Bill L. how things will come together. On the table are several pieces he has made. The largest one is for the posts that extend from the seat backs to the ceiling of the car to support a divider between seats as well as a rest or stop for the upper bunk.<br />

He is doing that before the copper sheet metal below the clerestory windows is installed. It will overlap the metal on the roof already in place.<br />

I have had a question from a viewer on how the roofing pieces are joined together. First a bend is put in the edge of a sheet and two sheets are overlapped as shown here.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Then the seam is pounded down flat as shown in this view of the ends of two sheets.<br />

Finally the seams will be soldered to prevent water intrusion. In this photo there is soldering around the vent but the seams between the sheets have not yet been done.<br />

The king pin is in place in the left of the assembly and the coupler will attach on the right. There will be three springs on the horizontal shaft between the bars to cushion the actions of pulling, coupling, etc. The unpainted angle piece will attach this assembly to a steel bracket already in place under the car. Final assembly and installation will be done next spring in Antonito.<br />

Meanwhile, Craig has been working on the window glass. The car originally had regular glass but now tempered glass is being installed. The moulding needed to be adjusted accordingly and this photo shows a floor spline, about the same thickness as tempered glass in the revised moulding.<br />

The seat frames are cast iron and will need some cleaning up of burrs and ridges as well as removal of the legs for the outside frames along the wall. Craig, Tom, and Dean are planning course of action.<br />

We started on the flooring although installation has to wait for the bolster truck bowl or plate to be installed, a tedious process to be covered later. In this photo Craig is positioning a floor board in the jig he made to cut a notch in the end of the board. Each board will be notched in the ends and a spline or biscuit inserted to keep the ends from moving in relation to each other.<br />

This photo shows Joe on the left with the two red spring pockets that he made. An original one is to his left in front of Don while Bill K. looks on. These go under the car attached to the steel angle brackets that have been installed at each end. There is a diagram of this mechanism in the posting of Jan.-Feb. 2018. The coupler attaches to this with a heavy spring which allows for some resilience when coupling cars.<br />

Work also continued on installing the bolster truck bowls, one of which is seen here next to some vent caps. It is upside down as it rests on the table. The side we are seeing rests on the truck of the car and allows the truck to rotate. The bolts holding it are carriage-type, recessed into the plate so that the surface is smooth.<br />

This is a view of the floor above showing the larger hole for the king pin and the six bolt positions corresponding to those in the bolster and plate. Once the bowl/plate has been installed the flooring can be laid down over this area although there will be an access hole left for the king pin. The original metal plate that covered the king pin was removed during dismantling and has been saved. It will be re-used as well as used as a pattern for casting a second king pin cover.<br />

This is a photo taken at the time of dismantling of the roof looking between two clerestory windows. The metal roofing is still in place and can be seen to cover the bottom of the window frames and wrap around the post between the windows.<br />

There are wider spaces between the windows where the seats back up to each other. This photo shows the panel removed that covered the framing on the outside. There is a vertical groove on the panel for a tie rod.<br />

Craig has been busy preparing for the installation of the flooring. It will be fir, beautiful wood, but may be painted to be historically correct. The wood has been milled for us, but grooves need to be cut in the ends of the boards where small pieces of wood (seen just to right of center in this photo) will be inserted in the grooves to keep the boards from shifting in relation to each other. Craig made this jig for holding the boards while routing out the grooves on the ends.<br />

Fitting and installing the steel for the coupler pockets also continued. Bill K. seems to be one of the point men on this, maybe because he always brings his hard hat.<br />

John, Craig and Ron are discussing the roof flashing along the bottom of the clerestory window mockup. They are using pieces of the old flashing that were removed during dismantling of the car to reconstruct how the new material will be installed.<br />

Something like this. There will be a piece over the lower part of the window frame which will overlap that on the roof.<br />

We used a hand stitcher to sew the zipper back on to the material. It went faster with two people, one making the stitch with the needle and the other locking it on the opposite side.<br />

The right side is the one that is repaired. On the left double stitching can be seen which was also present on the right, but the thread is fairly thin. A second zipper on the other end also has pulled free but not yet repaired.<br />
