The RPO is completed.  Painted and with interiors too.  Here you can see the car and in train his Franklin Magellen car.

Guys,  The boys in the shop finally pushed out the first RPO from the shop today! All the finishing touches were added, including the mail postal sorting bags, that the girls in the office made! The boys in the paint and lettering shop did a good paint job on both cars. The girls are still working on the postal bags for the second car now. As soon as they are installed, I will update you on the interior details and lettering for the second RPO. The first car now joins the FM Pullman car to make a respectable train. I am toying with the idea of having the boys build the communications car that ran with the FM back in the day, but that is for a future bucket list project. Well, let me get back to encouraging the girls in the office, to finish their part, so I can mark this RPO project complete and move on to the next BIG exciting project announcement from the BLW! Thanks so much for your time and interest in Bogs Locomotive Works!   - - Barry
