IMHO, C&S #9 & #71 should go to Como, not Chama. #9, anyway -
Given the high-profile news coverage that "Klondike Kate" got for Como a few days ago (see [ngdiscussion.net]), IMHO there's a lot of P.R. money available from the right sponsor. Like when Reingold beer paid the D&RGW to use a gold-painted #483 in one of their ads, I think it's pretty likely this could work out in a mutually beneficial way. And since the brewers of St. Pauli Girl beer had reportedly been involved in preliminary talks about paying for the restoration of #9 in exchange for using her in their commercials, I think something like the following would be good for Como – and for #9:
