Gee Herb, what an interesting coincidence that the C&TS has exactly 9 operational 30 foot stock cars available...although 7 of the 9 are currently flying Rio Grande lettered...so maybe the stock extra will have to be a circa 1940> recreation for this go round...
I recall that Coker said at some point during the 315 restoration process there was some issue with one of the rods? that would preclude her being worked to max. tonnage.
Besides we need to allow for all the 2 legged heffers that will be onboard...and if Floppo is riding the rear end isn't there a tonnage adjustment to be factored in?
