Hi, Roger -
As a certified foamer (even though I have not seen the entirety of either image due to lack of compression / download issues - please see Scott Turner's earliers posts, [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.), I have to agree with John, John, Scott and Micheal that "B" is the better choice if sending a card to known railfans and/or foamers.
As a former member of the Telluride BPOE, I believe it is imperative that you track down the wierd-antlered Elk with the injured right leg on his left side (or was it the injured left leg on his right side?) for a formal portrait that will appeal to your more rational clientelle of the non-foamer variety. If you can find a flying Elk willing to fill in for Donder, Cupid und/oder Blitzen - or especially Rudolph - while one of the latter is on a mental-health sebatical in Puerto Vallarta as allowed by their HMO's Insanity Clause, that would have an almost universal appealthat even a restored #483 in a dark green jacket could not compete with. with which even a restored #483 in a dark green jacket could not compete.
