The Denver South Park and Pacific Historical Society have one box car in the Roundhouse, I see the issue is going to be space, Como is certainly not a mild climate but is way better than the top of Boreas. We have not discussed that stage yet, you can see loads of photos from today on the Como Depot Facebook page. I am sure there will be an update on the web site: [www.dspphs.org], just give it a bit of time, and I am sure the Society would welcome donations. From my inspection a little bit of wood work but mainly paint. I have a thread running on the C&S NG forum to ensure we get the best consensus on the markings. We have a Generator with a Soda blaster attachment, currently been worked on but I can see us buying soda by the ton.
