misc thoughts

Although sad about the forced departure of the Ashby's, I am hopeful for the Railstar (Yes, I am excluding CHS).
I like #12 - she's a very nice looking loco. I'd love to see her and Eureka double headed.
How about Eureka with passenger train passing #12 with a short freight or maybe running them side by side (similar to what NS did with 611 and 1218) through Toltec siding?
I also think #12's green jacket would look very good with the C&TS red coaches for a Christmas train.
If you want a good July 4th train, get the D&S Thomas and the C&TS coach and paint a caboose or rider gon painted white.
