Coach 9: April 1, 2025 Update

Today’s work on the new coach… truck construction by Carlos and Jerry Steinke include forgings for springs… lining and lettering with real gold leaf starting with door panels, and proceeding to the car end.

Carlos, showing off his days work, spring hangers for the two trucks which will give the new coach a beautiful ride.
Sign painter Tom Fish started detailing the coach with gold striping on the door panels.
Real gold leaf…not paint.
Tom masked the end of the coach for striping. The double lines will show one gold line and one black line.
