Re: Club Car

["Steve Wise" <swise@aoot.com>]

I wonder if Village and Kings would allow us to consign the cars?

The Houston tinplate club advertises their custom cars in the O Gauge mags,
so I agree with Jim that we would have to aggressively push them to sell.

I like the idea of Std O vs O27.

As far as schemes, Ed and I have talked before about a UT Football scheme.
I don't know if that would appeal to lots of train geeks though.  (Although
we both like it :-)

Another scheme could be texas-oriented.  Bluebonnets, alamo, etc...
