Re: D&S cars sold at auction

This car has been set aside to replace the 04914 that I owned and the railraod inadvertantly sold to the Ridgway museum. Evan Buchannan and I took a look at it several weeks ago and we settled on this car as a suitable replacement. It will be coming up to Silverton next year. Last week in a meeting with Evan and Paul Schranck, we also decided on a drop bottom gon and a 3000 series boxcar to be leased to the Silverton historical society for preservation in Silverton, and not being any of the cars set aside on the display tracks at the Silverton depot. We haven't selected the specific cars yet. We also did some preliminary discussion on reestablishing a rail link into the Silverton Northern engine house.
