All,
I encourge all that are near Cheyenne to stop and see the car and visit with 
Mike.  I stopped last Thursday and the project is progressing nicely.  Also 
there is a donation box please contribute.  Thank you for your time Mike and 
keep up the great job!

  We are now deep into essential and urgent roof work to get the car through 
its 
  first winter with the sheet roof exposed since 1954. I have spent 8 weeks of 
  afternoons working on the roof from scaffold or ladders and my knees and back 
  are telling me its time to stop !! I have with the help of a very talented 
  building contractor replicated the wood roof edge trim with its shaped drip 
rail 
  and I am replacing all of it, 10ft lengths being fitted by myself from a 
ladder, 
  no mean feat ! 
   
  De-nailing the old roof edge is tedious there is a nail or tack every inch 
for 
  56 feet. Its really sad having to replace all this wood especially the 
  clerestory screen frames which are all original with there Pullman green 
paint 
  inside and all the builders and overhaul stamps, but they are totally rotted 
  out. We will save all the panels with the stamp marks on them and 
  maybe incorporate them in the new panels. Its amazing that so much origianl 
  exterior wood has survived this long.
   
  The 1909 Paris Exposition ticket, our prize find, is now being investigated 
by 
  the Grand Palais museum curators in France, they called it VERY interesting.
  Nice to meet the two gents from the CBQ list on their way to the NMRA meeting 
  today too, thanks for the donation chaps !
