THE COFOUNDER OF TT-AT WANTED TO DO THIS AND THE CLUB MEMBERS DIDN'T WANT
TO DO THE WORK AND FUND THE INITIAAL PURCHASE.
I DO NOT WANT TOO THE WORK OF MERCHANDISING THE CAR, BUT I WOULD FLOAT A
LOAN OF $ 500..OO FOR ONE YEAR MAX TO DO THE PROJECT
I AM NO EXPERT IN SPECIAL ROLLING  STOCK. MANY OF THE CARS ARE 027SIZE  
, SO TO BE DIFFERENT, I WOUILD SUGGEST A STANDARD O BOX CAR .

THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOUSTON MODULAR  CLUB HAS HAD 2 OR MORE CLUB CARS
AND MADE MONEY ON EACH OF THE FRIST TWO.THE PRESIDENT TOLD ME HE SINGLE
HANDEDLY DID  THE LEG WORK AND HE WORKED EVERY DAY TO GET ORDERS. I THINK
IT IS LIKE SELLING GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. LOTS OF DETAILS, AND YOU GO TO
WORK TO REST UP.
I HAVE NOT SEEN A 6 WHEEL TRUCK BOX CAR IN STD -O GA. THAT MIGHT BE A
SELLING POINT. .I THINK WEAVER MAKES A LOT  OF CLUB CARS ,
THE STORM LAST WEEK DID MY MODUM IN WHEN AN BOLT LANDED  AND  CRASHED
CLOSE BY. SCOTT CAME TO MY  RESCUE AND I AM BACK I N BUSINESS.
BYE,    BJ.1
