If a run of Weaver PS-1 boxcars were to be made with the TAMR logo, name ect. would you be inclined to purchase one?

The road number would be 1964, the year founded. Reporting marks would be TAMR



Thanks for the input

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this organization pretty much into HO and N scale?

Well, yes and No. I am the Northeast Rep, I am into O, other guys are in O as well, so G, some N, some H, and some just like trains in general.

Thanks,
Chris

The car would be O scale. I think for a Diecast trucked car it will be about 35 Dollars, 23 for plastic trucks

I am thinking something simple for the car, IE - A white car, black graphics...

Chris: Go with something that is respectable in quality, remember the club's name is on it & I would be interested in supporting the club if the car is respectable. MAKE IT SHINE Good Luck Steve

Chris:
Forget about the white car with black logo and lettering. Go with an attractive eye-catching scheme something along the style of Lehigh Valley's John Wilkes. Make the TAMR logo unobtrusive and not the focal point of the scheme. The more attractive the car is, the more you'll sell.
If you offer something along those lines then I'll take at least three of them.
