You know I was thinking after your last post and my answer to you , why not get the car now, I read many a book about the railroad construction in the US, and as they progressed cars brought the track laying equipment and all kinds of supplys food, spikes and many other items, so your under construction , get a few photos at the end of the track while supplies are being unloaded. As well as you write you should have no trouble coming up with a story. Also any one else who would like to participate should get on the list, no matter what stage their layout is in, it gave this old man quite a pleasure to do my photos and come up with a story that flowed with the previous one. I have made a slide show of all the photos posted so far , when it's over I hope to have a great show for my memories.
