Thanks hank! Thats just what I mean. If we wanted to represent a historicly correct Chama, which version should be presented. No one around today would remember it as chair car 32. when we rebuilt it last year with new siding, paint, and other small changes we almost put CALICO(CALICO was the name it was given bye the knotts) back on the side. But we thought we would get a better response if it said CHAMA again. Its neat to stand in the depot and see the DURANGO on the siding and when the train pulls in you can see/ride the Chama.
