locked Re: Southern dining car 3307 and OC 5 to TVRM
Jim King
I’m always thrilled when Southern history is saved, especially for future service. The 2 gons have particular interest to me because I’ve produced the 1945 PS rebuild in HO, S and O (shipping now). I know TVRM is very good when it comes to accurately restoring equipment. The gons, possibly from Eastern Shore RR, have a very diverse history. ESHR had, I think, 5 of these low sides in service as ferry idlers. Attached are pix of 2. They appear identical (PS end with darts is a clue) 11-rib style from the 1945 rebuild program. It’s doubtful a car number is still visible on the centersill but that would be all that’s needed to determine a car’s history. Glad they are saved … likely the only ones to be so.
