We are researching the possibility of replacing the Wilton carpet in our D&RGW Dining Car "Castle Peak" and would appreciate any recommendations that anyone could make as to a supplier. We want to replicate or at least come close to our current pattern.<p>Thanks in advance!<br>Chris Allan

Our interior designer, always a font of information, tells me the following. <br>Wilton is a -type- of carpet, not a brand name, it is produced on a Wilton type loom, as opposed to an Axminster type loom. <br>Two such looms exist in the U.S., <br>Bloomburg Mills, 212-688-7447 and<br>Langhorn, 215-757-5155.<br>Patterns and colors are easily replicated from what I'm told. The outfit in Alabama (Langhorn) generally works with wool, don't know what your carpet is made from. <br>Hope this helps. <br>(Our I.D. is also the lady who found out where to get old venetian blinds re-taped (cloth bits replaced) for another old passenger car.)<br>

Rudd, howeber, bought the carpet for his house at Carpet Barn. Might try there first.<p>Dave<br>
