That’s a relief! Finally some of my good will thinking came true!

I also made a post about the boxcar on FB and ended up getting a response with this Flickr picture m of it up close.

Pretty neat to see they converted the plain bearings to roller bearings no matter how ugly they may look! Lol.

I have great news! My grandfather found his old negatives of the express boxcar and I have managed to digitize them. Here in all of its glory is GTW 11487 with end doors!
