Mr. Anderson - Thanks you for your comments. I'm glad to see another one of these cars have been accurately restored. There were two others done that I know of but not entirely an accurate restoration. In regards to future restorations, here is our line up:
1. Florence & Cripple Creek 2nd class coach #52 - In progress.
2. Nevada County Narrow Gauge Engine #5, 2-6-0 Mogul. In progress.
3. Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge gondola #233. 2019-20 winter project.
4. West Side Lumber Company snow plow. 2020. The trucks for plow will be restored 2019.
5. Nevada County Narrow Gauge box car #58. Replication of a NCNG Grass Valley Shops built 26 foot box car. This will be built in the Nevada City Shop in 2021-22.
Other cars awaiting restoration:
6. West Side Lumber Company heavy duty flat (donkey flat) #2.
7. West Side Lumber Company sand car #276.
8. West Side Lumber Company tank car #4
9. Lake Tahoe Narrow Gauge flat car replica.
10. Florence & Cripple Creek 1st class coach #65.
Many of these cars are not on our roster as well as acquisitions in progress. Sending you a photo of a West Side 24 foot flat with bunks that we restored several years ago. John Christensen
