Very nice looking car, same idea as the Lehigh Valley Traveling box car that toured the rails a couple of years ago, everyone loved the idea and had a good time with it back then.  Good luck in her travels.

I am on the list to have the car visit my meager layout at some point.  I think it is a fun idea!
