Wood Brake beams

[Russ Hanscom]

Here is a partially completed wood brake beam for the 470 NG emigrant sleeper coach now being restored in Colorado Springs.

The castings were recently received from the foundry and they were machined at the recent work session. The brake heads and pull clevis are needed before the brake beam is completed.

The cart full of white oak is for the remainder of the parts for of two trucks.
