Thanks, I highly recommend the visit. Made my day for $14.00 (includes short train ride by SW7).
Next month, May 2005, the new Car Restoration Shop opens & accessed via the train ride.
The collapsed roof damaged many engines and cars. One car repair estimate was $1Million. Some VERY STRANGE engines in there including a Camel with cab on TOP of the boiler (forgot about tunnel clearance?).
Special note: The Smithsonian display on loan has the best models I've ever seen in 40 years of MRR.
