You remind me of every single AF buddy I have ever had. They spoke in numbers instead of names. Every single thing in the AF catalog had a number and that is what was spoken. Nobody knew an Atlantic from a Hudson, but they all knew 123 from 789. Now the scalers are starting to talk like that. The number disease must be catchy. I wonder if it is related to the Lionel or SHS catalogs. Without a catalog part number, folks would be forced to use a name which would be more meaningful (I think). Hope you can take a joke. Tell me what a #1295 is and perhaps I have some. How many do you need? Cheers....Ed Loizeaux (who actually signs his first and last name)
