Door and Window Trim

The door and window trim help to keep the weather out of the caboose interior. The trim also finishes the look around the door and window openings. Completing the trim was also the last major carpentry task on the caboose. Two lower and all six upper window sills were recreated using existing parts as templates. The other two lower window sills were originals that were cleaned up, repaired, and reused. The two cupola side window sills were made based on the other sills, but we don't really know what was originally there. Aestheticly, they look like the others and functioanlly, they will allow the sliding windows to work.

The trim has been installed around the B-end door opening.

The trim around the A-end door. The inner trim can also be seen in this shot.
