Boy this is great news! It’s looking good for LTC all around the US, I guess
were going to have to do something special down here in Florida, just to keep
up? But I don’t think we can top this one! Oh well, will do something note
worthy one of these day:)
Here an idea for the event. How about we get all the LTC and LUG to send one
locomotive in there club's colors with there club's logo on it, for a group
train record? “The World’s First Unified Club Super Train” All we would do is
make a special locomotives and mail them to you(PNLTC). You would run them at
the event and of coarse you would send them back to us after:)
Build on...
