Wonderful news and photos Kelly, thank you. I was down last week and Marian looked wonderful, striping on the trucks to boot- wow! She sure looked sharp. I saw another car that had been stored in the yard and the protective siding was being removed inside the car shop. Siding being renewed or has restoration begun on another car?

Thanks!

Joshua

Kelly,

what type of spray process did you use on the 'Marian' ?

Thanks

Dave

Do you know how many miles you got out of the last running gear overhaul on 475? Do you expect to get about the same mileage out of this job?

Nice work as always.

Thanks in advance.

If I recall correctly, Strasburg does not spray it's equipment, but rather uses brush painting. They may use incidental spraying for things like the decorative artwork on the cars, but they do manage to get a great looking finish. Looks great!

Best,
Mike
