Well not exactly. We are cleaning her up for Polar express. We have the parlor ready and the bedroom is now presentable. As in "this is a work in progress please pardon our dust" deal. After Polar work will continue but at a slower pace. The car will be restored completely, with a finished parlor, bedroom and a full kitchen with a working stove and Baker heater.
The more work we did the more we realized to do the car justice we need to re-side the car. So that is the plan. After Polar and after we have made more progress on Uintah combine 50.
Here is a picture from this afternoon of B-8 behind 280, and 284 on our Polar shake down run.
