By the way, for as much as I've read that "purchased for ConAgra service to Martin's Creek," I have *never* seen a photo of these anywhere on trains out of Scranton. Bob Stafford: Can you confirm this? I've seen PLENTY of photos of the green ConAgra cars, though. Most photos I've seen of these cars show them out on the west end, but I assume that they ventured elsewhere, too. > Paul, do you know anyone who has Tangent cars? I'm > considering buying the 6-pack, as I need to add to my EL CH fleet. I don't know of many shops who stock Tangent, but several will order them. I personally ordered them directly from Tangent - shipping on the six-pack is $8.25 and I don't pay sales tax since I'm not an NC resident. I think Model Railway Post Office can order these (I've seen Tangent stuff on their shelves) - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
