Re: The joys of wooden car upkeep

The interior is holding up very well. The roof has not leaked since I have had the car and I have only painted the interior once, in 2005. Colors are a bit heinous, they were left over from an early attempt to match the colors of D&RGW 04990's interior (pinkish tan on the ceiling and green on the sides), but will most likely stay for quite a while.
Looking towards the "B" end.
And towards the "A" end.
The remaining original interior fixtures, a sink, ice box and shelves at the "B" end, along with a long unused end door. Perhaps Jerry can chime in with memories of what, if anything, else was in the car.
