Easy matter to solve: Have a railroad museum alongside the more modern
mainline. Run the steamers on the weekends when 'real' traffic is lesser.
Have fan trips. I have a fan trip car which is a baggage car with open doors
and wooden barricades across the openings. It is full of people -- some with
cameras and microphones.
> The Y3 would be a gas but it would be wayyy too big.
I think Lionel claims it can take a 36 inch curve. No such thing as 'too big'
when it comes to engines!
> An NYC SD70 might more suitable--I'm sure Canada Southern could lease it
I have heard SD70s hardly ever run by themselves. You would need two of them.
Perhaps three! Maybe Canada Southern could become the newest heritage paint
scheme. A little fantasy never hurt.
Cheers, eh?.....Ed Loizeaux
