Yes, yes, yes.  I stand corrected.  The 40' parcel trailer was produced by RPP.  That's what I found at an area shop a few months ago.

They're not.  Just making sure I get stuff now for future consideration.  You know how it is, you might never see it again.

Besides, after reading that recent article in RMC about the "Peterboro Project", I'm seriously considering building a set of "Free-Mo" modules that would depict a location on the EL mainline.  If I do that, I'll need something to run on it, right? 

Wouldn't it be cool if a bunch of people built EL-themed Free-Mo modules and then we could hook them all together at one of the conventions?  Ah well, I can dream, right?
