Yes, I saw your post, and Earl's and John's reply. My comment was based on your DIESEL No Message comment, which I took to mean we should have diesel power in some fashion for the train.
As for authenticity, I think safety is paramount, and in this case none of these C&TS cars is authentic anyway, since they are all fabricated since 1970. Thus there is no historic railroading material to worry about, except for 0503 caboose perhaps.
I apologize if I missed the implication but it was the NM post that I was answering!
No big deal anyway...all just the "D&RGW Hot Stove" discussion anyway!
Cheers,
