At the risk of bad form replying to my own post, I just though of another idea. Maybe it would be better if clubs sent me their logos and the GMLTC could make decals and put them on our stock. This would save on a bunch of shipping costs all around. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
