No, me in spandex tights would be too horrifying to behold. If they were purple, however, I could then be "Eggplant Man-blob-thing." Alas. (Emphasis on the second syllable.) The cape would just be over-kill. And sad.

I remember in the early 80's when this car was a pile of rubble in the Museums basement said pile ended up being 2 cars

Nice trolley; but on 100 ton roller-bearing trucks???????????????? Hmmm, I will have to consider that for future models when I can not get/afford a set of Wagner trucks. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Dave,
You mean the trucks on the one just above?
If so, I give you a big WOW. I can't see any details on those trucks. :(

Roger, Yes the Durham Western Heritage Museum is in the old Omaha union depot north of the Burlington station. Which is now a local tv station.
Some how a private owner acquired the remaining parts and rebuilt the car sitting outside. The Museum restored a pretty good interior of the same style car in the museum, neither seems to have the right trucks. They also have Cornhusker Club and 2 other Pullmans.
