So, John -
What you're saying is that the 75th Anniversary Celebration for GRAMPS proposed by that loco guy Roosso last year will have to be postponed 'til next year or maybe even 2017 for all of the tank cars to take part. Since Element #76 is Osmium, IIRC, and Element 77 is Iridium, it looks like instead of a Diamond Anniversary it will have to be an Osmium Anniversary or maybe even an Iridium one.

p.s. If it IS an "Ozmium" Anniversary, then IMHO OzInOz should be invited to be the Grand Marshall ...
