Here is our finished recreation of IC 3345! We have yet to apply the lettering but that will be accomplished as soon as time permits. I hope you think our efforts are well worth it! We do. As I have previously mentioned we hope to repaint another passenger car next year. As for now our painting volunteers are going to take a winter vacation and start the next paining project in Spring of 2018. This does not mean we are stopping our progress. On the contrary, we will just focus on other projects. Please watch for the future announcements. In the mean time please send any suggestions that you have to this blog address.I cant thank these people enough for all their efforts in making this paint job happen!Yet to be completed is the painting of the vestibules. Yes, our next big job is the stencil lettering and numbers. Estimated cost is $437.00. We have placed an order for them and should be arriving in the next two weeks. I would like to thank all of you who have sent in donations for the IC 3345. It shows our hard working volunteers that our efforts are indeed appreciated and that, you, indeed like what we are doing in the coach department. We will, very sincerely, try to excede your expectations by improving the appearance of our passenger car collection. Please consider sending donations to your favorite piece. It does make a difference. Thank you Roger

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?
