That must have been so much fun. I am glad you took the pics of the hardware, it is so interesting. I once collected old hardware like that but lost most of it during the Hurricane that hit us on the Gulf Coast in 2005. I still have a few old handles and door knobs and some very old brass keys though. I love your blog and plan to visit often.
Hi Eve -
The entire experience was great. We took the grandgirls and they enjoyed it too.
The train is beautifully done - not plasticized, but actually restored.
One passenger complained about the lack of stops for shopping - it is a nature lovers' ride that she found boring. Made me laugh.
Sorry about you losing your collection of hardware. Hopefully, something new will take its place.
