Was out at PYP today. Sitting off along the far west fence in the "incoming" holding yard was a grey 122 wagon. It had no plate on it so I suspected it had just come in. Against my better judgment I inquired about it at the desk. They told me anything along the fence had been sold... :cry:

Anyhow...I managed to get a closer look at it through another gate as I was walking to my car. I could only see the back half of the passenger side and could see no rust and an original hubcap on the rear wheel.

So...anyone see this car on the lot? Anyone know what they were asking? Perhaps someone here bought it? Rick Thomas maybe?

OMG - how did you miss this one? Sounds like a note may be in order...

Wow. Hopefully someone we know got it.

I've got a line on a wagon in Medicine Hat, but it won't be near as nice....

??? There's one sitting in a field near the airport. Intact, glass is there. Just isn't running. Are you referring the 245 I am ripping apart this weekend? :D

I was thinking about the 245...there's a 120 wagon there as well - how very interesting.

Yeah, its in a farmer's field just west of the airport. Glass is intact last time I checked, and I don't think the rust is too bad. But its been sitting for looooooong time.
