[sorry, a pet peeve of mine:  a thread gets so split and groups chat in
parallel resulting in confusion.  I'm tying it all back together.]

Everything here subject to PNLTC member approval (I'm making this up as I go
along).  As follows:
1.  PNLTC would like to stick to 6-wide for uniformity.
2.  any logos on any types of freight cars are fine.  Those of a personal
business nature PNLTC would need to review.
3.  in order to keep from going bust, any help orgs may provide wrt return
postage is appreciated; we may have to make this a polite but firm request.
4.  PNLTC shall assign a WC train manager to accept mailed rolling stock.
5.  anyone globally may be able to handle consist management, namely, which
org is sending what type of car; this person would work with the event's WC
train manager who is the physical wrangler of the stock.
6.  orgs would contact the overall mgr ahead of time and register stock so the
WCTmgr knows what to expect.

OK groundrules?

What new standard is that? :-)

PNLTC may not have the clearances for 8 wide.

Haha!  The biggest criticism I've heard from the 'plywooders' is WE can't • change
our layouts!  I guess GMLTC will have to send in a few tanks and a crack demo
team to make sure the clearances are there!

Wait 'til the new 100 ton hopper cars are unleashed in Carlsbad - they can fit
two of yours inside of one!

Uh, I was just thinking.... we are going to be showing the GMLTC layout in Carlsbad in July at the Kidvention, which would be possibly be an even more appropriate place for clubs to show off their stock and logos, since it *is* a club convention.
