the NYC 628xxx - 642xxx Gons. Even at the start of my career they were the most common Gon seen. Didn't any other roads have Gons of this same design? Painting the NYC's would be a breeze. Start out with grimy black, put on initials and numbers and then another light coat of grimy black. We have talked a lot about chalk marks in the past. These cars often had the Light Weight highlighted with chalk. Russ Strodtz ----- Original Message -----

In the first sentence, replace "NYC and P&LE" with your favorite road, and it's a sentiment practically everyone on this list will share. <g> Tony Thompson Editor, Signature Press, Berkeley, CA 2906 Forest Ave., Berkeley, CA 94705 www.signaturepress.com (510) 540-6538; fax, (510) 540-1937; e-mail, thompson@...

Not wanting to sound overly sarcastic but I left the Chicago area in 1979. The fact that something was available at Naperville last Fall does not help very much. Russ Strodtz ----- Original Message -----

But I do visit every October nowadays, so in fact I do find it helpful to discuss what's available at Martin's meeting. I bet you'd enjoy a visit to the Naperville meeting some time.
