CNW 7700 Update August 2, 2009

In our wanderings this weekend Kirk Warner supplied an image showing the progress made on this combine.

CNW 7700

The roof has been repaired and repainted, and a lot of body work done over the last two seasons with rotted metal being replaced and patched in. Mark Gellman has done a cosmetic paint job which really improves the look of this piece. I believe it will be operating for the Thomas Event.

Does Pony also have HEP and MU cabling installed? A dome coach would certainly do better in excursion service than a sleeper.
