    Looks like some "maintenance" may be in progress on the fan shroud in the grass for the Missabe locomotive. Needs a little more work with the hammer to get the contour correct. :D

    If I remember right Mr. Willie James was a cook for the U.P. in dining car service.
    The car was originally a "Pacific" series 10-6 Budd sleeper. Looks like it has been remodeled
