Right, Greg -
Obviously it's up to the individual charter to decide where on the Camaraderie - Authenticity scale to aim.
IF Phraud-O-Graphs are the goal, then the equipment should be as authentic as possible. On the other side of the coin, if replica cabooses are painted
Rio Grande then IMHO some effort needs to be made to identify them as replicas - especially those with "luxury" interiors - lest the public be misled as to how trainmen actually lived in the 'Good Old Days'.
