My first question would be: are you gonna finance the operation?

 

 My second would be: I semi-proto-freelance, so what's the big deal?  yes that's a westbound intermodal behind 3 new GE's meeting a mixed freight behind a Big Boy while a Westbound Broadway Limitd blasts past with a GG-1 and E-60 on the point...

I've about 280 cars at the layout, inclouding staging. Changing all those cars would be time consuming. So I prefer to run my "mixed era" layout. Most cars are for 1970, but there're a few billboard reefers, mather stock cars and more.

I would ask him for certification that he had changed the air in his head in the past six months; or inform him that the only thing that would make him more annoying is if he had a cell phone; or suggest he join a bridge club . . . . . and jump off next Tuesday!

I would model my local diesel short line.
