<div>I go with Tony's suggestion of the use of a track cleaning car.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have two track cleaning cars, one a WP 40' boxcar which I can use on my WP, and other trains of that era, and a UP 40' box car, which is configured as an impact car with clear sides for better cargo handling, which I can also use for that era. If one wants to run a stack train, obviously they won't fit the era. I know that we have club cleaning cars, but I've observed that they derail quite often, so don't convey the impression that we want to make.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also don't feel that we need to get info the length of trains to be run. Track 9 should be the longest train, that can be run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As we don't have a car clerk, or someone to check the trains before put on the layout as of now, that has to be looked into. I suggest that we get through this year, and in the quiet first quarter, set up some guide lines. The suggestion of pre- running a train for a show is a good one though, to see if it makes it around the layout. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also at the meeting I didn't hear anything about the signaling system, nor the detect detectors we had discussed. Anyone know anything about these, that I don't.</div>
