Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Yeah, these are in such a high demand! I want more, of course, but the people who couldn't get them last time should get priority.
I hope the run will be a big one and that the demand has shown they'll sell.

Mike, can't thank you enough for the prototype information that you have provided.  While I am late in saying this I do appreciate what you have shared and know that there will be modelers who will find this info of great use!!!  Thanks so much!!!  Now to see if I can scrape up enough money to get one of these beauties for myself...

Also interested- would look good in my Fast Mail.  Probably only one, though.  Unfortunately, I think last time, they were gone before I found out they were for sale.

Have 3 CN 8 hatch reefers in the mail from GHQ.  Had forgotten all about those, saw them when I was checking their website to see if they had posted anything about the R50b.

So what's the time line on the green trucks? Or by the '50s they were so dirty they just looked black?

Looks like I'll have to change the color of the underframe on my NJ International (brass) one. I'll have to change the trucks to something that actually work first... Which will probably require machining down the center beam of the underframe...
