Work on the interior and exterior continues. Exterior work is mostly on the underside equipment. See photo captions for details.

Thanks to your generosity we have unlocked a matching grant of $16,000 furnished by the Narrow Gauge Preservation Foundation. We continue to seek the support of such foundations to help bring this coach to completion in the coming year or two.

Remember, we need a total of $120,000 to Finish Coach 9 to the Nines! These expenses include paying for the $30,000 paint, varnish, and gold leaf finish, chandeliers (at $3500 each), seats ($850 each), Miller Safety Platform and coupling system, Wood’s Safety Gates, passenger trucks with vacuum brakes, hat racks, and many other final details. If support is not received, this project is in danger of stalling – so please help if you are able to do so.
