Re: M for Mike

I disagree as to the changing over to right hand opening doors. All of the 19th century 27' rebuilds that I have seen, that were given numbers of former 26' cars, had their doors open to the left.
Example RGS box #1789, former D&RG #3383 door opened to the left.
In 1902 the 27' cars went through a second rebuilding and the cars were renumbered into the #4000 series, with right hand opening doors.
I am currently working on a vast upgrade of my D&RG Lettering Guide. If any one can point me to 19th century rebuild with a right hand opening door, I would appreciate it.
