The first time that I saw the combine, it still had the seats, and Don acquired a large number of extra seat ends with the car (Where they came from, I don't know).
The Baggage car is one of the nicest old cars I've ever seen, as it was not converted to the tongue in groove siding but maintained its panels with battens covering the vertical joints in the wood.
I hope that something can be done to preserve them, just as I hope that something can be done to preserve that beautiful duckbill D&RG combine that he acquired.
Until the place reopens and/or the family is over Don's death, tread lightly. We don't want a replay of Bill Heckman in South Dakota when he made a flatcar from a CB&Q wood caboose with a chainsaw or "removed " parts from C&S No. 9 with a cutting torch.
