I guess this means coach 8 should be turned into a clerestory car.

A careful application of a razor blade can turn that 8 into a (almost) 9 really quick.

I *think* the locomotive being cosmetically restored is not a historic Rockport RR locomotive, but rather one that was purchased many years ago from a coal mine in PA to represent the RR.

Also, was it an 0-4-0 or an 0-4-2.  I can't tell from the photo on the trestle.

I just also noticed the outside frames on 9!

Seriously though, for all the nit-picking, these are some great little pieces.

This years work trip is planned for November 6th 2021, We will leave Sheepscot Station at 7:00 am. It takes about 2 hours to get to Phippips Me. Last years trip was a great success. I'd like people who went there last year to comment on their experience. Hope to see you there helping build track into the new car barn.

The last remaining locomotive from the Rockport Like Company is going to be cosmetically (my words) restored.
