The 556 is beginning to look wonderful! You and your team are to be commended on the rapid transformation on the interior of this car. It took a lot of dedicated hard work to achieve the results shown in these photos.

Hello Kirk Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, the 556 has changed very quickly. Its amazing what a couple of coats of paint will do. Much for the credit should go to Paul Cronin Howard Geier and Mark Hoffmann for their "Push" to get it done! The other two coaches need the same attention. The next big project is the long anticipated restoration of the RI 2524! Roger

Are you going to finish the 2612 before you start on the 2524r are they both going to be worked on at the same time?

Hello Kirk We are starting on the 2524 asap. The 2612 is all but finished. Still to be completed are projects that can not be accomplished by my crew, ie welding and repairing new deck and painting the entire exterior with an automotive finish. Thanks Roger
