TRUST ME--I USED TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!
SUPER nice job....but why not just bite the bullit and call it the Dave and Nancy railroad???? LOL

Why? In the current configuration his empire can also be called DNR, (do not revive). If he were to revert to using the wife's name, then he would have to totally rework all his graphics as he whould be obliged to call it Nancy & David.

I hadn't thought of it like that.
How true
Dave: I'm not sure if it was a whole bunch of "senior moments" or a total "brain cramp" but for the longest time I actually thought you had named your empire "Do Not Revive" as if you were expecting it pass into history. As for your paint scheme, I like it with one minor exception. It looks entirely too clean, too "factory fresh". I like to leave my new stuff outside, somewhat sheltered, so that mother nature can weather it naturally.
Tom if you look at the table you will notice some dust, it blows over the fence when the dog nextdoor run's around,NO GRASS and I had to dust them off before sealing the lettering.
