We may not be able to easily build red 4551s, but I will definitely build a
GREEN one!
The first two crane cars will probably go into the collection as designed. But
then, we may have a good lifting device for a harbor or freight yard or ??.
Also we should be able to redo the boxcars into eight-wheeled.
While I have a few worries about the 9v system vs. IR, I'm really excited about
the remainder of the trains! Does anyone have any idea of when we can pony up
the money?
