I am happy to announce that as of today there is one more Nickel Plate
Roadpassenger car in its NKP paint!
As I mentioned several weeks ago, the Erie Lackawanna Dining Car
Preservation Society's is in the process of repainting the "City of Lima"
one of the Pullman 10-6 sleepers purchased by the Nickel Plate Road in 1950.
Here are two photos of the car receiving the blue paint and lettering.


We are on schedule to have the City of Lima in Scranton in September. If we
are successful then a Nickel Plate Road passenger car will ride the
Lackawanna rails as they did from 1950 until 1964. More importantly the
first ELDCPS car will be "home".


Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far to make this happen. Since
we have been raising money for this car separately from the money raised for
EL dining cars 741 and 470, the funding to finish the interior work (new
carpet, upholstery, etc.) and to move this car is really going to be close.
If you would like to help see this car return to Scranton ready to operate
in its Nickel Plate Road appearance, please consider making a tax-deductible
contribution to ELDCPS. We still have several special naming programs
associated with NKP 211. Please visit our website
http://www.eldcps.org/donations.html

Or you can send a donation to ELDCPS, P.O. Box 5821, Parsippany, NJ 07054. If
we are successful in getting the car to Scranton in September, we will set
up some opportunities for donors and members to come see the car.



Regards,

Tim Stuy

Secretary - ELDCPS
