Re: Cumbre & Toltec Coaches

I am trying to remember exactly what I did for him, but I remember meeting with John Bush at the same time I was stripping New Jersey Transit cars for Steamtown, and I think he was getting these seats from the same scrapper I was salvaging Ni-Cad coach batteries from.

Sometime around then I also scavenged seats from a scrapper of old Texas State Stillwell cars in Eagle Lake, TX; could have been some of those, also.

Vintage walkover seats are now unobtanium. In 1985 could get them in Jersey for dirt cheap.
