B&O Railroad Museum's Roundhouse Restoration Fund
By Jim Herron

Lionel®, L.L.C. and the B&O Railroad Museum announced the availability of a specially designed boxcar, limited to 500 copies, to support the Museum's Roundhouse Restoration Fund. Lionel® created and designed this boxcar in B&O Sentinel Service livery marked with the Museum's logo, "Roundhouse

Restoration Fund" and a car number "021703" which represents the date that the Museum's historic Roundhouse roof collapsed under the weight of a record snowstorm. The boxcar is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity and aerial photo of the collapsed roof and the phrase “Roundhouse Restoration Fund”, which are trademarks of the B&O Railroad Museum, Inc.

The boxcars were donated by Lionel to the Museum and are available for $250.00 each on-line at www.borail.org or by telephone 410-752-2490. The Museum is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization and the purchase is partially tax deductible.

All proceeds benefit the Museum’s restoration and $175.00 of your purchase is tax-deductible. Each boxcar is sold on a first come, first served basis distributed in certificate-numerical order. Limit one boxcar per family per address. For questions or phone orders, please call the Museum at 410-752-2490.
