Interesting view. Also, I'm hearing that quite a few of these lumber cars seem to be in storage right now. Those sheds at right were the last place I ever saw a BN ALCo C-415. Boxcab E50
I see alot of those stored at various places. My freind works at a local mill,and he says the lumber market is in the toilet right now.
Have you priced plywood recently? Especially high-grade plywood such that you might build a layout out of.
