Indeed this is awesome. Glad to see it and that the group is planning on moving on to additional projects as they come available. Reminds me of a story I heard about the Surrey Sussex and Southampton so I looked it up and found this...

And those guys up in Phillips Maine have tackled a few boxcars as well.

I tried to save an early 1900s boxcar in eastern Illinois but could not find any interested takers. It was in better condition than these, but then again, the C&EI is not a cute narrow gauge, is more recently gone (although the main line is still there) and had other surviving pieces of equipment.

Great job guys! I only see grey hairs though. Just like so many other facilities around the country. We have an N6b wooden caboose that I took downto the metal chassis four years ago. It has been sand blasted and painted but the rebuild is a long ways off since we have a severe shortage of volunteers and money.

Keep up the good work.

Later!

And Scott-we still have roller bearing trucks for your N5c. Contact me and we can discuss price if you want.

Wow, you've done so much, so quickly, and at so little cost!

Just saw on the Tweetsie forum the ET&WNC bozcar 434 is loaded on the way back to NC.
