Re: PHOTO Re: VIDEO: Taking A Ride Inside R-10 #3189.

Yeah, for the poles that used in the restoration of #3189, they were the stainless steel ones, not the original porcelain ones though. They must have been salvaged off a newer SMEE car instead.

Most but not all of the hardware were re-installed on the car, but all of the seats have been placed back in, but in the 2-2 arrangement (not the 3-2 one from 1969). All six side roll sign boxes are there, but a few roller curtains are missing.

The floor design is a semi-reaction of the diamond and daul lines (around the seats) format, but the color scheme follows that of R-7A #1575 currently. The side doors in the interior appear to be a bit darker than that of #1575 and #3184.

Speaking of #3184, one of your A.C.F. builders' plate is placed at one of the car. On the flip side, its six side roll sign boxes are all missing! And its ceiling needs to be repainted again thoroughly.
