Everything has gone well. Our new CA&E seats have been moved to IRM along with several other things. Rod and Nick drove up to LaCrosse to pick up the rental truck and various things Nick had bought at an auction, and then drove to North Freedom to pick up the seats. I met them there to help, although they were already halfway done, since they were running ahead of schedule. The seats are now in Barn 8, and tomorrow morning they will be partly disassembled and stored. I won't have any pictures to post until I get home tomorrow night.Tuesday, May 8, 2012

Randall,
ReplyDeleteSeats are well worth searching out. It costs a bundle to make them from scratch!

That is certainly correct, Ted! But that is what Mid-Continent has been doing recently for some of their wooden passenger cars. It's a huge project in itself. And IRM is very lucky they had these surplus interurban seats, saving us the expense and difficulty of making our own replacements. So next time you're near the Dells, be sure to stop in at MCRM, and tell them Hicks Car Works sent you.
