B&SR #11
« on: August 14, 2017, 09:54:05 PM »
Now that the B&SR #11 which is currently a full coach; has been back to Boothbay
Railway Village for a few months, is there any sign of work starting to do the proposed restoration to a three-door combine?

It is going to be a good looking, one of a kind in Maine car if and when it happens!

Actually Coach 11 has remained at the WW&F since it arrived last year, it just normally stays in the car barn.  It was out for the picnic when we needed additional capacity.

I believe coach 11 is scheduled to go back to Boothbay after the end of the year. Boothbay volunteers have been at the WW&F examining the car for conversion work and I believe Boothbay is working on building the necessary parts for the conversion back to the cars original configuration.

Back in 2017, I asked if any work has been done on the proposed re-building of this coach back into a three-door combine. See down below. Now I will renew my request for news of the car.

Also I would like to know if it is on passenger car trucks?

Why not direct your inquiry to Boothbay Railway Village, Ted?

Wayne,
            That would seem to be a good suggestion. But I did not get a reply, and so directed my question to another knowledgeable audience.

Ted Miles, retired but still interested

Last we heard Ted, the work on coach 11 was on hold. But that was over a year ago. Some parts had been made, but that was as far as it got then.
