The Historical Society of Delaware has raised the funds to restore a Jackson and Sharp car obtained from Steamtown. From what people tell me she was used as a movie car in Vermont. This is pretty significant as Wilmington was once the leading car building city in the US and we do not have any Wilmington built equipment on exhibit anywhere.

The movie car I spent MANY hours of the 1970's in was a B&M combine. Thought that was at RMNE now.

I initially interpreted Tom Gears post as saying there were no Jackson & Sharp cars on display anywhere. On second thought, he meant in Wilmington.
