Re: D&RGW stock car 5672 rebuild
| June 28, 2018 05:49PM |
Hello - Just an update on the progress of the stock car plus another special request for a part. We are currently putting the new T & G siding on both end of the car and applying the grab irons and corner brackets. We will start on the construction of the side doors in a week or two.
We are missing one of two lower grab irons that set directly above the train step. It has one of those odd ends to it to help prevent hand slippage from the grab bar (see picture). If anyone has one to spare I would be happy to pay for it plus shipping. We would rather have original parts than have to fabricate them. Please contact me at my home in Nevada City, CA at 530-265-3668 and ask for John Christensen. If no answer then be sure to leave a message or my wife will block the number
