Re: Hear Whee Go Again ... Magnets

If you ignore the embedded railroads, the ones which most people visit because they are drawn to the enclosing village/park, you will find that most tourist railroads use their own name. That is, they (and this includes DSNG) may use styles from the railroad which originally laid down the track they use (for example, in my area there are several tourist railroads who use New Haven colors and styles), but they put their own name on the locomotive.

Perhaps they may know something??

Everyone agrees that the magnets turned out to be a mediocre idea, so lets go on to other ways to switch identities for foamers. We won't know whether the temporary paint is a good idea until several charters try it.

PS (added an hour or so later)
The Sumpter Valley, EBT, and WW&F are all exceptions to this rule, but each of them took over the entire body (and the WW&F even resurrected the company) of the original railroad.
