At the reconstruction site, it will be in this location for 4 years
We are checking out all the damage time has taken on our caboose, note the sill is rotted through
This corner of the cupola and roof are in very bad shape. We decide to pull the cupola off the body
New side sill taking shape
Side sill installed and new framing for the missing windows has been installed
New siding on one side, we rehabilitated the end siding in place
After fixing the rafters and decking, we covered the roof with a layer of plywood for strength
Residing the inside wall sheathing
Our 'new' trucks arrive from Mineral Washington
Good wheels and axels, plus lots of salvageable parts
Taking the hardware off was hot work
We had lots of holes to drill in the new parts
A little nudging will make these parts come together
New truck frames
Dropping them onto the axels
A good day's (actually months') work
Welding the new under frame to the bolsters
Trucks are on temporary track spaced just right for the caboose to join them
Halloween morning, the caboose flies to its new location
Set down on the trucks
New roofing installed to keep out the weather
New cabinets under the cupola are taking shape.
