Here are two photos of the car receiving the primer coat. We can now say that CNW 410 is gone and NKP 211 is on its way back. In the next few days the car will be in its NKP colors and lettering. We are on schedule to have the City of Lima at the American Association of Private Railcar Owners annual convention in Scranton in September. If we are successful then a Nickel Plate Road passenger car will ride the Lackawanna rails as they did from 1950 until 1964. More importantly the first ELDCPS car will be "home". Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far to make this happen. Since we have been raising money for this car separately from the money raised for EL dining cars 741 and 470, the funding to finish this car is really going to be close. If you would like to help see this car return to its Nickel Plate Road appearance, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to ELDCPS. We still have several special naming programs associated with NKP 211. Please visit our website http://www.eldcps.org/donations.html Or you can send a donation to ELDCPS, P.O. Box 5821, Parsippany, NJ 07054. If we are successful in getting the car to Scranton in September, we will set up some opportunities for donors and members to come see the car.
