Re: Restoration project of D&RG Coach 256?

Thanks for the interest! 256 was in much rougher condition than 292 with most of the wall studs needing replacement. The floor was also compromised, and the wall compression members had been removed at some point!! The good news is the sills were able to be saved and the end walls and one playform were ok. About half the interior is saveable so this is not a replica yet, and the roof system is rehabilitatable. Here are some photos and thanks for the interest in the historic car project.
Best,
