Now they're as rare as the piliated woodpecker. > > > > > > > > > > > > Hang on to the last one and get to know your local counterfeiter. I have a friend who can run off copies of anything you give him in some kind of styrene or urethane, as long as it's not too big. He said he didn't think he could do the Ace boxcar floor, but he made for my club the scrap metal loads we sold with the GTW gondolas when we ran the Spring Spree. Tom Hawley -- Lansing Mich
