and what are the plans? What condition were they really in? Were the re-engined?

For that kind of money, someone must have plans for them, right?

See "doowoppie's" (possessive) post under "Surplus Sale" (singular of multiple items) on March 2. An earlier post here on RyPn's (possessive) Interchange several weeks (plural) ago announced the government's (possessive) sale (again, singular of multiple items) through a surplus contractor.

grinning all the way....

Actually I would rather like to know the future status of #22, which is one of a small number of Fairmont Railbusses left, I only know of 2 others; MEC 10/100 at Ct Eastern RR Museum, in Willimantic, Ct, and B&M 500 at The Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennybunkport (sp), Maine. With this one being the version prior to either of the others which are sisters.
