RGS 256 is in amazingly good shape and amazingly complete. the body bolsters, center plates (and even one center pin) and truss rods are all there, one end platform is complete 9thogh a touch rotten, the other end platform is missing some wood, but all of the metal is there. The car is not sagging, the roof is solid and the walls are straight. Not much is left of the original interior, as it was a house for 50+ years. Thankfully, the car was maintained and kept fairly water tight during its time as a house
