@Steve McCulloch posted:Jim, I apologize for frustrating/irritating you and anyone else who feels as Jim does. I really do appreciate the time and thought all of you into responding to my question. I'm not a purist. I'll phrase future questions to reflect that. To answer your question, I also talked with friends here in Minneapolis and Indianapolis. The C-Liner came up during those discussions. In the end, I liked how the C-Liner looked. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts.
No frustration on my part. Personally, I love the C-Liners and might make the same choice as you, without asking anyone for their ideas in the first place. That’s how I create imagined excursion trains, or beer trains hauled by a Pennsy A5 steam switcher with a caboose. The title of your post suggested you were asking for practical information, that’s all.
