I went and got the 2H1 today. The wood is a bit weathered but then it's all original too. It's made of square edge boards and doesn't use any joiner strips like the 2A1. The data plate reads:
25 - 43
2H1-840

Default Look at THAT!

Great finds David,

Still shaking my head in disbelief at the 2H1 Body. It is in amazing condition. It must have been stored out of the weather, surely.

Looking forward to you starting a carrier resto thread.

A neighbour gave me this box today and I didn't know he even had it. It's 'just' a 2C1 but there's an F15A in my lineup waiting for it. Now I've got two 2C1s, one 2B1, one 2H1, one 2A1, plus the 1A2 and the HUP. That's a lot of rear bodies!

I hauled the latest 2C1 home and set it on an F15A. The lineup is looking pretty good.

Hi Dave .Look's like you are ready for war with that lineup .I don't think some of these fellows from afar know how iron and wood can sit out side for years and servive like in Saskatewan .But did you get alot of rain this year ? We only had 3" all summer .It's good to see your pictures so when you see a box like some of yours a person will know what you are looking at .Is that your brother doing all the work with that picker?

Well, I couldn't thrash today so we went south of Elrose and picked up that C8 that was discussed before. I thought both front wheels were on it but there's only one. The front wheel adapters are there but the rear ones are gone. It's hard to believe it sat in that same spot for 60 years unmolested.
