Has to be my favorite pair of cars of all time. Thankfully they both still survive along with the Wingate Brook !
Cheers, Ed

I know the Hickory Creek runs excursions out of Grand Central. On my bucket list. Gorgeous work Ed. Thanks for the kind words Rich.

Plenty memories of the ‘covered wagons’ back in my early days as last trick YM up in Rochester, NY(Goodman Street Yard)
Yeah, they were ‘covered wagons’ around here in Cleveland, too. A few scenes from Collinwood:

Love seeing the inside of a backshop. I have two on my layout, but cool to see a photo of a real one.
