Re: [SilverStreak] SS Gold Trim Question



Jeffrey,
That's a million dollar question. Tom Patterson and others have really 
looked hard into this. You can have a roll made up for us, but it is more 
than expensive. Sometime when you see that "too far gone" coach nobody wants 
or one going to the scrapper, things like the gold trim can warrant a 
freebee or low price as a parts coach. Even that is a problem as trim can 
vary in color, size, and pattern on these hand made relics.

Removal of trim and other valuable parts are also very labor intensive since 
rivet removal is something that takes a lot of time and patience. This is 
just about the only solution so far.
