Lorne Tweed and Eric Lorenz are going over a pile of them, trying to set aside the hopeless ones. I think there are seven different varieties of these parts for ONE WINDOW, making the scope of this something north of 200 pieces.  Let There be Light On the carbody out in the barn, Eric Lorenz continues to install trim and more parts. The headlight is now complete visually, although a new reflector bowl inside and the bulb and wiring remain.  A Step Up The last of the two fold up steps to the roof have come back form the painter and are now installed just to the rear of the mid car exit doors. Eric checks the last screws to be sure they are secure.  Windows What would any of these posts be without the ubiquitous window work? Keith Letsche returned to the shop and is working on reducing the large pile of sash that remain to be cleaned, and coated with clear finish. |

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 [...]

It is interesting to see both the milk cars together. I had been wondering if the steam department would use the IC car. The Railway Express reefer [...]

Perhaps because it would be months of work to lift the tender from the trucks and then ship the trucks to a facility with a bath big enough to do [...]

Would the passenger car department be interested in some donated "Pullmman Style" wool blankets and/or travel type pillows for display purposes in the [...]

I've heard rumors that the museum is trying to get another GTW 0-8-0. Is this true?
