At the risk of letting the cat out of the bag, I know of a person who has a
s*** load of Metroliners.  Any chance he will hook us up?  (Hint, hint!)

Beyond that, the only other person around us who has a Metroliner is the 3
car unit Eric McCarthy had.  Of course, we will have to convert most of
these to all cars, which is not really that easy.  Each metroliner comes
with 14 windows and the standard pullman coach takes up 10.  That puts you
short 6 windows on coach #2 and only enough doors for 2 coaches anyway.  I
built the subway style of cars, as they only require 8 windows each.  Still,
I am very short on windows as it is.

I have 5 club cars built in yellow/black that I am going to change over to a
black metroliner, possibly.

If we end up doing NMRA, it would be nice to have a monster Metroliner on
the layout.  I'll have at least 15 cars relatively soon (not all with full
doors/windows - 3 4558s, 2 grey wagon plates, and 4 4547s), Mike has 12, • so
that's 27 already.  Anyone else have any?

If I can manage to somehow find any grey windows without spending a mint,
my goal is 20 cars for my 4558.
