Mike,
Yes, right now I am a staff engineer for ENSCO, the company that builds and operates the FRA track geometry cars. We are presently building two new ones, with the bodies constructed by Colorado Railcar Mfg., and Plasser. Yesterday we had a design review for the new Plasser car in Omaha and got to see the new Kenifick Park display of the Big Boy and Centennial; quite the accomplishment!
Also busy funding the resotration of my ex-Ann Arbor 2839 caboose, which just happens to appear on the back of the PM 1225 North Pole Express train which posted immediate above your reponse when I opened the RYPM just now! Restoration was headed up by Fred Stevens and John Hansen, with help from many others.
Steve
