What happened to the Olympus?  It looks like it was wrecked.

unfortunately, there is no specific spot on the website to donate to EITHER
car.
The simple solution is to call 1-800-BIG RAIL (1-800-244-7245) and the
office can take credit card donations
We continue to ask the webmaster to add items to the store and hope to solve
this technical issue soon.

Any help for either project is greatly appreciated

Along with that, I'll add more. The Pullman Library at the Illinois 
Railway Museum recently purchased a Havelock Baggage car (993). This 
car will be used to house a wide variety of documentation and drawing 
(much of the documentation will be test results from Budd, freight 
car correspondence files, and other such). The car is in the process 
of being fully restored to its Burlington appearance. It is 
possible, that this car will be in the shadow lined scheme. A lot 
depends on available information, and, of course, funds. Help is 
needed to bring this car back - it has corrosion issues, and some 
structural issues.

As long as we are talking baggage cars here....there is an ongoing 
fund raising effort for the purchase and maintenance of the 
OLYMPUS. The hope there is that it might become a common headend car 
on the train of the Goddesses at IRM. I think most of us on this 
list have seen the OLYMPUS in photos and consists. It had a lot of 
assignments and was heavily used. There is a fund raising effort to 
bring it "home". This is a unique opportunity to bring a Zephyr car home.

Here is OLMPUS's photo album :

I'll be honest - attempting to find ANYTHING in IRM's Byzantine web 
site requires far more skill than I have. I know there are 
locations to donate for both cars, but haven't found it - perhaps 
Phil can help?

Gee... you think that might be the reason for things not being funded?
