Tuesday, May 14. 2013DM&IR 84 Window Repairs Complete for NowOn Saturday, May 4, 2013, Chuck Trabert installed the last of the windows refinished for the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Railway 84 coach over the winter. Chuck has been working on the windows of this coach for the last several winters and feels he is almost caught up with the most urgent window repairs in this car.  Chuck Trabert installing a refinished window in the DMIR 84 coach Window repair is not an easy job and it is costly to buy new glass, hardware, paints and varnishes. This car is frequently used in passenger operations and receives even more wear and tear as a result. All passenger cars required to be outside are at greater risk for damage from the elements so there is a goal to get them all under the shelter of a barn to be spared the worse of the sun and rain. You can help make that happen with an easy $25 donation for indoor storage. Choose the Passenger Car Department and add your donation to the cart. With your hep we will eventually get all passenger cars under cover. Many thanks! |

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
