It may not be obvious from interior photos, but the interior of the 36 is painted in two slightly different shades of tan. When displayed in bright sunlight, however, the contrast is clear. Yesterday I drove up to Des Plaines to get both colors matched. The seat arm is the only part painted in the lower color that can easily be removed. The upper color I need right now for window frames.
And along the lines of our discussion of Camp Epworth, about a mile east of downtown Des Plaines is an old Methodist campground that is still somewhat active. On the north side, facing the tracks, is this disused entrance/waiting shelter. I wonder if the C&NW dinkies ever made local stops here?
