I missed you guys by one week, I was there on July 7th, it was the first time I had taken a ride on the C&TS in nearly 12 years. The pictures of the flats got me thinking about the 6500 flat(s) the C&TS got from the D&S in the auction. Does anyone know how many were purchased and in what condition the flats were in? Are these flats destined for a remodel into a coach, or will an example of a true 6500 flat be preserved on the C&TS?
Also, what class flats were being used in that picture? Were they the class (the number designation escapes me now) that were rebuilt from standard gauge boxes/stockcars?
Thanks all, and Happy New Year.
