I need 10 "Red Plate, Modified 1 x 6 with Train Wagon End". (URL) And yes they're all for one loco. :) Would anyone be willing to part with 10 or can someone tell me where I could procure them?

(...) Since going 8-wide I am down to one engine, but I do plan on making a second SD40-2 identical to my first one someday, but I was thinking the same along the same lines. In reality two SD40-2's could haul a train much longer than I'll ever (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
