Almost 15 years ago, the Museumsbahn e.V. came up with the idea of renewing the doors of the locomotive shed. All the gates were to be made in the historic riveted construction method. The design is based on that of the first “gate generation”, as they were installed in the locomotive shed until about 1945. In addition to their cultural-historical value, these gates offer the advantage that the upper half is glazed, allowing more light to enter the interior even when the gates are closed.
\nFinally, in the fall of 2008, the project to rebuild the locomotive shed doors was started in cooperation with the Ausbildungsverbund Metall (AVM) in R\u00fcsselsheim. The AVM is a non-profit social institution active in the areas of training, qualification and employment. The new construction of the gates could be realized as an apprentice project within the framework of the training as a metal worker.
\nAs a “prototype”, the gate on the rear side of the shed facing Steinstra\u00dfe was first renewed, as it has different dimensions to the gates on the turntable side on the one hand, and on the other, initial experience for “series production” could be gained here.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The rear shed gate was not only manufactured by the trainees, but was also installed on site at the railroad museum by the trainees themselves.
\nApproximately one year later, from the summer of 2009, series production of the front gate systems began.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In October 2009, all 16 gate wings were ready for the riveting work that now followed. The museum’s 5-ton riveting machine was specially transported to R\u00fcsselsheim for this purpose. As a workshop in the training, the topic of “hot riveting” was first prepared in theory and then implemented in practical work together with the workshop manager of the museum.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The completion of the gates should be done by the museum. Therefore, the work by the AVM ended at this point. At this point, our thanks go to the executing trainees under the direction of their trainer Mr. Bauer!
\nThis was followed by years of painstaking work to paint all 16 sashes, conserve and install the wooden infill (approx. 64 m2 in double layer). The glazing of the window inserts proved to be a challenge. Here, the task was to glaze 768 (!) glass panes individually with window putty. One kilogram of putty was used per pane, so that in the end a total of approx. 770 kg of putty was used on all the doors.
\nA big thank you goes to the following companies who supported us with material:<\/p>\n
