Folks, Several years ago a private person took on the restoration of a circa 1890 Pullman built wooden Passenger car that he found in I think Bellows falls, Vermont. He wrote a multi-part article about repairing/ restoring the wooden car. As I recall the story the owner was hoping that it could go to a place that would use it. I wonder if he ever gave it to a museum; sold the car or whatever? Thaanks, Ted Miles |

The gentleman was David Woodbury, and the coach, B&M 1246, is now on display at a depot museum somewhere in New England, unfortunately out side exposed to the elements. I'll be damned if I can find the last thread about it, though. |

That's the article where David makes the offer. The car finally wound up in Contoocook, NH. Here's a recent video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCbGO5Qtfrs |
