The LSHR Baggage Car
In 2008 the City of Grapevine, TX purchased a baggage car to set on display with their #771 steam engine. The LSHR club was involved from the beginning with the knowledge that we would build a 3-rail "O" gauge layout in the baggage car for public viewing. The photos below show some of the club members laying track for the steam engine and baggage car. January 2011 is the planned month to start building the LSHR layout. Updates will be added as available.
