Since you used to volunteer at the Loop when there was no historical C&S equipment being used, why don’t you now? That way you could help fix these things that you are concerned about instead of just talking about them. Like I said before, there is nothing wrong with pointing out these things but the real question is what are we going to do about it? Since you volunteered at the Loop before, it sounds like you are in the correct position to not just talk about these things, but also do something about it. That is if Railstar allows volunteers to work there.
Also I’m some what confused that you can tell us that you have "higher standards" but not mention that #9 is using the wrong tender! Why did you leave that off your list of things that need to be corrected? Or the fact that she is burning oil? Is it that we are only concerned with the historical correctness that we can see from 30 feet away? I’m not flaming you Tim, I’m just surprised that you drew the line on things that were wrong with #9 where you did.
