Nice to see this car getting some attention, but not sure this is going to
come out looking right. I thought he round roof was probably added when they
put the smooth sides on this car in the 1950's. Anyone have any insight on
that?

Friends of the 261

MINNEAPOLIS - The Friends of the 261 has begun restoration of former Norfolk
& Western business car Lamberts Point. The nonprofit Friends used the car
for several years on charters and excursions pulled by Milwaukee Road 4-8-4
No. 261. Now the group is moving ahead to restore the car closer to its
original N&W appearance.

Restoration work is underway at the Friends shop in Minneapolis. The newer
modern roof is being removed, which has exposed the original clerestory roof
underneath. The roof will be repaired and restored to its original
appearance. The Friends will also perform interior updates and other repairs
before repainting and lettering the car for N&W.

Pullman built the car for N&W in 1918. It features cherry woodwork with
brass fixtures throughout the car, which includes two large bedrooms, a
dining room and lounge.
