Saturday at the Roundhouse
January 30th
Last Saturday volunteers and staff worked to erect stall 3 curtains so that painting on the GP10 can take place.
4070
Welding will continue on 4070's cab. It is nearing completion and soon the cab will be ready for cleaning and painting. Still need to weld in much of the interior angles and braces. We have a volunteer working on cab wooden window frames and glazing. Thursday, January 28th at 7:30pm the 4070 committee will meet at the Roundhouse. If you have an interest in long range planning or current updates on work in progress stop on by or better still join the committee.
An important step for moving 4070 forward is the tool reorganization. Last Saturday, volunteers brought down the plaster board ceiling along with about 60 years of dust. We also started the demolition of the concrete pad. We need some volunteers to help out. The jackhammer is heavy and we need volunteers to switch off frequently. We also need several people to clear away concrete debris to keep a path clear for the hammer. It is dusty, noisy work so do wear the masks and ear plugs that we can provide or bring your own. No one should stand around and watch without proper PPE.
The America car still has a list of chores that needs to get done. The interior still needs cleaning and polishing the brass rails are among the jobs posted on the car. Just time and effort needed there.
Our lunch room has seen some major upgrades this past year, but still needs a new linoleum floor covering to help keep it clean. The material is on hand, we just need a volunteer with those skills.
Our collection of documents for 4070 is expanding and we need some volunteers to help collate and maintain the storage of the drawings. both paper and electronic. All should remain on site and be accessible. A board member will be working on documents Saturday, feel free to pitch in.
The RPCA Conference committee is looking for volunteers to help out. A lot of work has been done but there is still plenty of work to do. The RPCA Committee is meeting at the roundhouse on Thursday January 28th at 6:30pm. Stop down if you are interested in lending a hand (or two). We have new artwork and graphic designs for the convention. Contact the office or any Board member if you are interested in being part of this endeavor in any way.
The roundhouse is a safe and compliant place to work and interface with others. Masks are required. Common areas are continually being sanitized for our safety.
