      I was super impressed with the kitchen and all the cleaver storage shelves and how well it all fit into such a small space...

    That’s a wonderful glimpse into a world that most of us would never see. Thanks Steve and Dick for taking us through the Sluter and giving us the tour. It’s like an RV on steroids 😁

      About the only two things they didn’t think of in 1914 was how to prevent World War One and how to prevent ocean liners from smacking icebergs

    As far as I'm concerned, a private railcar constitutes the absolute epitome of luxury, and this car is no exception! A FIREPLACE?! The trimwork and crown molding throughout the car looks like an upscale apartment, this is truly stellar. I hope one day to be fortunate enough to travel in one of these cars. If it is God's will for me, I would love to own one later in life. Sure, it's a snail's crawl compared to private jet travel, but this represents an undeniable amount of comfort- and I can only imagine the sight-seeing.
    Super, super cool!

    Certainly a great way to travel and for an updated car it has retained its glamour.(the only way to go) No doubt this car is probably one of the oldest private cars that is capable of Amtrak service. How about we take the car to the corner of the Royalston parking lot and make that your new broadcast booth? Just make sure you keep the toolbox properly filled

    @ 4:35 I would have used chrome or metal drain tubes on the sink during the restoration to try to keep it looking "old" or original ..those new cheap looking PVC pipes ruin the look IMHO... overall this is a beautiful rail car of the highest order
