[CBQ] Car 57 and 1866 Palace car 'Omaha' updates

[MICHAEL PANNELL <michael.pannell@btinternet.com>]

Hi to all

We had a great day on the car project yesterday, lots of visitors and donations 
and some fascinating finds too. We found a ticket on our car to the 1909 Grand 
Prix at the Exposition in Paris (this was the expositions last year) the ticket 
was in our soot filled clerestory roof window wells these have yielded many 
finds so far, we dont yet know what Grand Prix although in 1909 Baron 
Rothschilds horse Verdun won in Paris . We also found all the missing windows 
and hardware  from our other intended restoration the 1866 Wagner palace car 
'Omaha' (builder unknown) these were sold by the cars owners 30 years ago when 
it was a house next door to our car in Cheyenne, we hope the frames can tell us 
more about the cars origins. 

The move to downtown Cheyenne is yielding benefits beyond anything we could 
have 
hoped for......so come and visit us.

Cheers
Mike Pannell
