Here’s the second part of the video we made with Tom at the V&T June 10, 2022.
Tom shows us the other pieces acquired in the purchase from Old Tucson Studios.
There’s the #1001 and #1007 box cars (mostly reduced to sawdust but the trucks and frames are good). Of course the “Reno” is the highlight of the V&T acquisition, but there’s another very interesting piece!
The 1874 Wells and French Derrick car, though in pieces, has been saved and someday will be restored.
The #11 steam locomotive the V&T “Reno” was proudly acquired by the V&T and brought back home to Virginia City for preservation back to operation!
