9/29/13 - Updating an old thread... An 8-minute video about the Sunbeam. The video talks about the car's purpose at the Hildene museum, and includes a few shots of the restoration work being done. http://vimeo.com/65610214 Video's producers wrote: "This is a video we made for Hildene, a museum in Vermont that was the home of Robert Todd Lincoln.
The son of a President, Lincoln served as President of the Pullman Railcar Company for most of his career. We wrote, photographed and edited this video for our colleagues at Rolling Stock Pictures." |

That car has to be the most beautiful example of craftsmanship in such a vehicle that I have ever seen. |

Nicely done video. Wish that they had mentioned where they acquired the set of 6 wheel trucks for the car. Les |

I went to the website of the company that produced this documentary and noticed a few videos posted. One is a different video on the Sunbeam, and it answers the question about where the trucks were acquired. Link below: http://www.rollingstockpictures.com/RSP ... ation.html |

Of course, it makes me wonder about the "derelict car" in Wisconsin where they found the set of trucks! Les |

They ain't a'gonna tell you Les, 'cause if they're off a Soo Line work car, they are likely Barney & Smith trucks. |
