Re: Work trains and stuff... 04951

Since Jason was nice enough too post pics of the 04953. here are a few of its companion on Monarch pass the 04951
The two cars when we first saw them for sale at the Sundown & Southern
The 04951 has been extensively rebuilt as the framing was seriously compromised
The stove will heat the car remarkably well. During the rebuild the walls were insulated with fiberglass insulation.
The interior was completely missing , We chose to rebuild the car as a useful addition to the fleet, It now has a full kitchen, onboard water supply system and a restroom facility.
I'm glad we could save these two outfit cars and hopefully we will reunite them soon
