For all the details of this restoration click on the link below:
There is a lot of good information, including a listing of outside contractors used for many of the reproduction parts.

nd I agree that car has now put Mid-Continent into the very top rank of wooden car owners in the USA!

And I am glad to say that the Western Railway Museum is next on Glen Gurea's list of places to work. He will continue working on Sacramento Northern 1005, a wood Interurban from 1915.

And I hope that he does something on the SN Parlor car "Bidwell" while he is here.

MLS&W #63 looks great and much is being said about Glen Gurea's outstanding work on it. But not much has been said about all the great work that Mid-Continent's members have done on this and other cars at Mid-Continent. Check out, as an example, the photos of another restored car at Mid-Continent, Duluth South Shore & Atlantic #213, completed with all volunteer work a couple of years ago:
