To All, Here is a post that we should find interesting: (URL) think we should send one out there, from MTLC and MichLUG. Any ideas / volunteers? Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I think we should do one as well. I suggest a doublestack container car with two containers, one MLTC and one MichLUG. I am loath to commit to actually doing it as I would hate to miss the deadline, but if no one else has bandwidth, I can take (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry & All, (...) Right, I don't think I even have that double container one, is it this: (URL) is that just a normal train body? Scott "Trying to get pictures uploaded, not sure if it is working : (" S. (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry & All, (...) That's right, the 4561. I don't think I ever built that one yet, I have 3 copies, two are MISB and Tony built the other one for GATS. As for this one, are you saying just put 2 4x16 containers on top of each other? And maybe build (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Can you print color logo stickers and get them to me??? If you do that I will do the rest. (because I have a vision for what it needs to look like)... It's not just a flatbed wagon, it has to be a well car so the containers aren't too high (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry, (...) I could, but I don't think we have a MTLC logo yet, we can just use letters for now. Did you want clear labels or white ones? How big did you want it? (...) I can get it over there quick enough, it is just a matter of specifiying it (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry and all, Sorry I have been late in responding, I was rather busy this morning. (Gotta love metric badly dimensioned drawings!) (...) Right.

To All, All right, I guess since no one is responding to this, I guess we go forward. Amy, did you have a logo for MTLC? Can we just use that one? I figure one label on each side of the container., a total of 4, correct? One with this layout: MTLC (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) That would work but I was thinking two different containers. One with the MICHLUG wording and logo and URL, one with the MICHLTC wording and temp logo. That would be two different stickers, two copies of each. ++Lar (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

That would also work (blank containers on the bottom because they are "in the well"... that gives both upper containers "normal" 3 brick high space again) but increases cost for shipping, which I was just going to suck up.
