Right, Larry -
But if you look at my avatar you can see that - like my friends JBWX, Roger & Roosso - I'm ALREADY at a ripe old age! So please use all the influence you can to get Eureka & Glenbrook, since they're both currently operational, to the C&TS a.s.a.p. Then we can set up alootery betting pool to see who can come closest to guessing which of the other two pairs runs next - and when - and use the proceeds to restore a somewhat younger movie star, #483!!

is that the loco on the cover has a GREEN boiler jacket!
