D&RGW 5743 will be restored to its as rebuilt (ca 1926, exact date escapes me at the moment) appearance and become part of the SPRS collection in Como. The restoration project will be kind of a "training exercise" to build up car work experience amongst our volunteers.
Here is what we will be starting with;
The car needs a new roof, new floor, one new side sill and some wall repairs. 5773 will provide some of the parts including the side sill. A lot of work, but a very doable project.
