Shaun is correct. This was a one-time container swap organized and
administered by KK Quah of GFLTC. There have been a few new clubs to appear
since then that have requested "in" on this.
So here goes: If any train club would like to exchange a set of stickers or
containers with NELUG, please contact me by e-mail (drvegetable@attbi.com)
to arrange a swap. I will send you a set of NELUG stickers or a container
if you will do the same. I can't speak for the other clubs, nor would I
presume to reproduce their stickers. But I welcome representatives from the
other LTCs to step forward with a similar offer.
The container swap was a great idea. It is a way for the different LTCs to
be present in some small way on one another's layouts. Also, it looks more
realistic to have an assortment of containers in the rail yard.
