Face Lift

Post by Tom Macrery »

One of our newer additions gets a very professional face lift. Going to look good. Now all it needs is wood paneling inside, cushioned seats, cushioned backs, head rests, luggage racks, period gas lighting, a bar, a PA system, a Pullman porter, complimentary drinks, carpet flooring, etc. Then maybe our passengers won't complain anymore in that car?!?

Although no doubt you used many pints of paint as well as consuming even more pints of nice cold beer afterwards.
