Well Mike, sometimes I really TRY to forget about the remains of the C&NW Excursion Car
Not sure what we can do with whats left of it.
And the 2 speeder shed Boxcars I consider more of an existing historic structure since there is no chance of us "destroying" this structure to try and make them back into boxcars. However, their history is worth mentioning consider I listed the Standard Gauge Boxcar that will also probably not see the rails again.
