The new year saw work continuing on the roof edges with installation of the nailers (trim pieces on the letter boards). Also, copper flashing was fabricated and installed around the base of the clerestory.
The interior ceilings are finished. We had visitors peering in the door of the baggage car while on tour with a Trolley Museum docent.
This photo shows how the lower roof edge was finished with the outside row of decking overlapping the nailer piece.
Fastening the nailer in place.
Then it was sanded.

This is a detail of one of the roof corners showing the side trim pieces beveled and the end pieces not yet installed.
This photo shows Ron at the brake bending the copper sheeting for the roof flashing.
Strips of copper flashing ready to be installed.
The copper is bent to conform to the wood.
Moving right along.
Interior paint removal continues.
We are close to starting to cover the roof on the overhangs.
This is a bundle of "bender ply" which is very flexible plywood, aka "wacky wood," which will be used to cover the curved roof of the overhangs.
This photo shows that it does indeed bend.
