Miller Restorations

 

Sometimes, the experience surpasses the expectations. That was my feeling and I  am sure the feeling was shared by others. We spent a rainy Saturday morning with Ross Miller of Miller Restorations. I had heard the name off and on for years, but didn't know the man. All I knew was he had a great reputation and is very well thought of among collectors in our area. Even so, I was expecting to see a dozen or so cars to pass away this rainy morning. Well, I lost count of the cars. Ross gave an amazing account of virtually every car, truck, locomotive, and train car in this massive building. He spent at least 3 hours sharing stories and information as well as showing a few of his techniques. I especially enjoyed the histories of some of these special vehicles.

 

 

 

Ross  has been performing quality restorations for many years. Word of the quality has spread and Ross stays busy even though he does no advertising. On this day he led us through his restoration area as well as sharing information on the many cars stored here. There are the cars belonging to our host - Ross Miller - of Miller Restorations as well as the numerous cars he has in various states of restoration. Today the building houses several ongoing businesses. There are the cars, trucks, executive buses (developed by Kershaw), and train equipment belonging to Royce Kershaw. Finally, another company restores train engines and cars. In addition two trolley cars going to Peru were being built - one almost complete and the other just a frame.This huge building was at one time the manufacturing location for Kershaw Industries, which manufactured railroad repair equipment.  A great way to spend a rainy day. 

 

 

 

A huge thank you to Ross Miller for sharing his time with us and as well to Hamer for arranging this visit. Enjoy.
