Bill:
Is what we see the original construction style of narrow gauge passenger cars? What kind of wood was used when first built? How much of what we see there is original, if any? The wood looks to be all new material. Do you happen to have a photo of the before condition? I find your photo very interesting and I never understood how those cars were constructed so I learned something new about narrow gauge passenger cars. Also is the shelter the car is in large enough to work in or is it just wide enough for car storage?

Thanks.
Craig Miller
