You might start with the Association of Railway Museums. Scott Becker at
the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum (Washington PA) is either the current or
previous President.
Many railway museums restore railway equipment. Just a few are the PA
Trolley Museum, Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (Strasburg PA), Seashore
Trolley Museum (Kennebunkport ME). There are lots of railway museums out
there - check the Official Museums Directory.

Subject: Trains
I am currently working on the restoration of a 1930 caboose. Does anybody
have any information on the restoration or preservation of such railroad
cars? At this point I am concentrating on the exterior of the car since
that is the area in need of the most work.
