Remember our target with this is not railfans but "civilian" fair goers
and other visitors. Also the goal is to create something inviting
and striking at the entrance. I have shown these images to some
friends who are not railfans and they like the striking posters.
People respond to art and this illustrates the railroad connection to
life and travel. The photos could then progress down the <br>
main aisle to more literal photos of various California railroads as
they really are, Dennis does have a point.. Also the idea of a case
with models would work as well, since we have that case full of cobwebs
by the back door. Don't <br>
forget some people come in through the back at the fair. The average
person doesn't think of trains much at all or thinks of a train as an
industrial item<br>

<div>I like the concept but not the posters other than the Santa Fe
which has a realistic train and background. The others are just more
"artsy" than train emphasis. I also prefer the black and brown frame
to the solid black.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the cost, I would say do it for this years fair and keep an
eye out for something to replace the posters after that, unless someone
knows a source to get the for rr's in better pictures now.</div>

<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Attached is a pdf with a
proposal for putting up four 36”x24” “arty” posters of the four major
California railroads. The idea is to change the look of the North
Entrance after the great paint job and make it much cleaner and modern
looking, but with art that is evocative of the golden age of passenger
travel by rail. These will represent the four primary (Class 1)
railroads focused to California: SF/ATSF, SP, UP, and the WP. The
posters are of signature passenger trains of each railroad, generally
in the art deco to realism period (not photos). I think there is a
story to be told using them, some thoughts in the pdf. The four posters
shown in the pdf are from eBay and are $35 each (free shipping) in a
24”x36” poster configuration. So four posters would be $140. If anyone
has other poster options for the railroads, please suggest (or if you
have a good one at home).</p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Also shown are three
frame options from Michaels. They range from $110 to $154 for the four
frames (after discounts). I personally thing the black frame that is
about 1.25 inches wide is best and those are $127 for four, so the
total for the posters and frames is $267. </p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">After discussing it
Friday after the business meeting, there seemed to be general agreement
this makes sense. Much of the existing artwork is either faded or
wrinkled. Putting up a bunch of misc. art or a bunch of Orchard things
is going to look cluttered. This will be a very clean and new look and
will be very noticeable to anyone who has been coming for the last few
years (especially Jerome). I think the investment is a good one for the
new look it will give our “lobby”.</p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Please respond if this
makes sense. If so, I will order the posters and get some frames to
look at next Friday.</p>
