<P mce_keep="true">About the rail: I think it was abandoned in the 70s or so, it was after Chessie because they had a duplicate route and they went with the B&O instead. </P> <P mce_keep="true">Pushcars: these aren't the normal little 1x2x2 or whatever they are rectangular hay bales or even the smaller 3 foot or so round ones, these are 5-6 feet around and about 5 feet tall and they weigh several hundred pounds. Pushcars may be an option, but we want them to be locomotive-hauled and it is a pretty good distance to have to push them. (Strasburg is standard gauge, so not dinky equipment.) I know how much the EBT cars can hold for what you'd think for their size.</P> <P mce_keep="true"> Yes, trucks and everything else is what we would need but a hopper or two would be nice for ballast. Somebody else did this once, only buying trucks, but they never scrapped the bodies, they are still there.</P>
