Thursday, October 1. 2009UTLX 17222 Update September 30, 2009 Finished Two more blocks of lettering were applied to the left side by lunchtime, and ALL the lettering on this side is finished. Henry Vincent moved the car for a photo op in the afternoon and here is the resulting image.  B End Here are the first two areas to be lettered on the ends. The weather was finally near perfect and all together, eight areas on the car received more lettering, two on the end, two on the left side, and four on the right side to begin the process there. Thursday, October 1. 2009URTX 26640 Update September 30, 2009 B End New Freight Department volunteer Bruce Plaxton (foreground) is needle chipping years of paint and crud off of the two end ladders for the car. Bruce is not new to volunteering at IRM since he and I shared some common duty at this year's Thomas Event. Earlier in the day he finished bolting down the dome boards on our UTLX tank car, and helped with lettering chores. Behind him Victor Humphreys is painting the second coat of black on the end, and that was completed by day's end. |

Jeron, I do not think this is something we would seriously consider. The IC car is already part of the collection. It did run on passenger trains [...]

I don't see any stripping on the tender..will that be repainted too? Also, I'm not sure how relevant this is to the discussion, but does 1630 have [...]

Nigel, I know the auxiliary water tender for Frisco 1522 was for sale a year or two ago. I don't remember if it was sold, or is still for sale. I [...]

Yes. We are looking at what it would take to rig it like the existing one to use as a water back up for #1630. It currently lacks the [...]
