mang, Why can't our RR make it in the magazine? it's because were so boaring-- I know it- we just have Trains on our tracks, the PTRA has Trains and Ed..

We just can't compete...

blast.

(PS. Ed- Thats really cool, us next month, you'll see [:D])

It''ll be some time before we get March issue down here, but Ed has been kind and sent me several shots of those locos before in their distinctive blue.

There wouldn't be too many specialist port railroads as extensive as the PTRA in the U.S. would there?
