West Penn Railways questions - 10-01-00

[Greg King]

I Agree Fred,

Attached to my garage (workshop/layoutroom/hideaway)is ten feet of the front
of a Melbourne car (W5#817), it is also complete (controller etc) even to
the trolley pole but, desperately in need of restoration as it is out side
and I have not the time to spare, it will eventually have a roof and will
house in the remains of the passenger compartment, my memorabiliar museum,
so list me as one of those accentrics too!
