You have some great ideas John. Now that the Antonito CRF will be operational next summer, such dreams can come closer to being a reality now there is a workshop to do the work in. I believe that the building is paying dividends already as this is a BIG jump over the amounts that have been donated in the past.
The hardest part of any project is putting together a team and leader who can commit for the long haul as something this big will be a multiyear project. I believe that fixing the 53 will good practice, as up to now our groups experience has been freight cars.
