Include an American bank which got involved in the China "event" and bled the company with bonus's and other "shenanigans" to add to the management problems.

I imagine you know that there are GB&W 50' boxcars (complete with Packers lettering) made by PRS out there; I believe they were a project of the Badgerland group. Since that was before I got into S scale, I can only infer that a group of S scalers in Wisconsin ponied up the funds to commission a number of PRS kits painted for local roads which they then resold. While Ostertag is not a rare name, it is uncommon; by any chance are you related to my long-time congressman in New York State (going back over forty years, long before the current partisan nastiness)?

I am a prototype modeler and model the late 70's to early 80's. I plan on doing the same in S. For now I don't have a great deal of room, however I do plan on building a industrial park type of layout that is freelanced, but based on Milwaukee Road practices (so no ballast or ties, LOL). I enjoy agricultural railroad structures, i.e. grain elevators, co-ops, etc. So that along with some warehouses will be the base of my revenue. > > My first S Scale project is going to be converting an American Models ACF 50' boxcar in Rock Island paint, into a FMC/SIECO 50' boxcar in Green Bay and Western. I will post pictures of this as I go along. I also plan on handlaying my track as well as scratch building most of the structures on the layout. I hope to be an active member of this group and look forward to helping move S Scale forward. > > Michael Ostertag > Green Bay, WI [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6670 (20111129) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6670 (20111129) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
