Restoring the Virginian Railway Motor Car 109: Waiting for the Lettering

In July 2009 I agreed to a trade that brought this grand old lady, built 1921, to my collection of railroad relics. In preparation, I built a 2/3 scale replica VGN motor car shed and painted it in the color scheme adopted by the railroad after World War II, gray with dark brown trim. In late March 2011 the actual restoration began. Read on and see how the restoration progressed.Start at the bottom entry and read upward. That's a blog.

Waiting for the Lettering

A local sign company is making a small sign for me that is a replica of a Sheffield builder's plate. It will be attached to the front end of the black battery box. They are also furnishing the vinyl lettering for me, VGN 109 for the front and 905, the original number, in a smaller size for the back rear cross piece.
