Great Idea Dennis. I was thinking along that line this morning. Get
more people involved. Take care of the era you are interested in.<br>

opinion we have too many club cars now. The cabinet in the hidden yard
is full, as are all of the sidings in Oildale and the port, which
means any additional cars will end up in the hidden and freight yards
taking up one more tracks there. I think the freight yard is pretty
much full now and hidden is getting that way. If we cull the cars we
have now, getting rid of the ones that are beyond repair and fix the
others it would upgrade the fleet without clogging the yard. <big><font

for the cars with the pipes, they are Pennsylvania RR which went away
in 1968. That makes them appropriate to pull with steam or first
generation diesel, but not contemporary power. I doubt many people
notice, or care, about the trucks. I also doubt the green protective
coating was used that far back. BUT they are attractive and reliable,
which can't be said for a lot of the club cars. </span></div>
