This week under the Vintage Rails Restorations banner i started work on this long term goal of mine the refurb of the only surviving complete South park passenger car No 7 or Combine 28 latterly. This will be its first repaint since arriving from Uva Wyoming in 1969. Its an astonishing survival story having been used by the C&S on and off standard gauge trucks for 18 years after its narrow gauge career ended, then replacing a burnt section house in Uva and being found derelict by a ranchers wife who purchased it. Incredibly this week i found original Wells Fargo lettering on the baggage wall overlaid with Adams lettering. It will go back to C&S green with Wells Fargo lettering one side and Adams the other. And before you ask no it wont be going to Como anytime in the near future.
