RPO Team Leader Don Bayer just called to announce his RPO work is complete except for a few details. Still to Come are the new trucks being built right now by Team leader Russ Hanscom. Also the brace cylinder is on hand just needs a few welds. There will be a special forum photo series posted within the next few days!

We could 'fake' the coaches but we need a baggage car.
Anyone have one they can donate? :smile:

Don can build anything we need including a baggage car.

However with this skill level, experience and quality of workmanship, sure would be nice to see him start on turning 252 into a parlor car with a 1910 ish look.

From what I understand in the early 1900's 252 was a parlor car. Either 14 or 16 seats in green velvet.
