Alan, what is the possibility of having Menards make a special limited edition run of OGR box cars? The number of cars produced would be based on Pre Paid orders received by the date determined by OGR.
The cars wouldn't have to be issued for the OGR 50th Anniversay, however, they possibly could be numbered in the 50000 series? Car #50000 would be retained by OGR and placed on display in a glass case of course!
Perhaps the cars could carry the word NEWSPRINT on each side?
Happy Rails to You,
Joseph Toth Jr.
