Chic Silber said...: Looks like they painted the old

(and new) green train blue

I can't see the coaches well

enough to tell if they are blue

Green with a yellow stripe were

Strates colors for as long as I

can remember; 12 September, 2009 11:28

Chic Silber said...: My recollections would go back

many more years than that Jimmy

It could have been several other

colors fore all I know but it was

green for a VERY long time and I

never saw it any other color

Next time I get to Gibtown I'll

try to find out about it

J.C. Hall said...: To Chic
What do you mean it
"doesn't really matter"????
This bit of infamous information will one day go down in infamy.; 13 September, 2009 11:52
Chic Silber said...: I think we're members of a pretty

small (and getting smaller) club

but I vote for you for Potentate

(I can't even remember the coach

number of my train car and that

does matter); 13 September, 2009 12:54
