Each train group was asked to make a number of containers with their group's logo, and then send them to the organizers (I believe it was the Florida Train Club? Feel free (...)

| | | | | | | | I have to agree with Larry, in that the "charm" of the swap is the physical containers as well as the stickers, and knowing that the container itself traveled a great distance to be included in the layout. Plus I like getting stuff in the mail, even (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Steve, you are one wild and crazy guy (bet you never heard *that* before!;-) I have all of the images, so it would be simpler for all if I just beamed them to you (with some extras that nobody else got in the swap).
