1. Yes.
2. Boxcar.
I did not look at all the different types of boxcars you mentioned.
I really like the brown ones the club already had done.  Hint, hint, hint
Traditional
3. Yes.

This afternoon at the GBGH, an idea was floated that I wanted to share. We
have kicked around the idea of having a club car produced. The three major
sticking point has been:

   1. Minimum quantity
   2. Scale vs traditional
   3. Type of car

Ready to Run offered to do a run of their boxcars. These are (I think)
from Kusan molds and are basically 6464 sized cars. Given the history of
RTR, I'm was not willing to take a chance with them.

Atlas, offers undecorated cars. From what I can tell, these cars range in
price from $60-70 (not including shipping). Russell, if we can settle on a
style of car, would you check on your best pricing?

These include:
Atlas O Undecorated 17,360 gallon tank car, 3 rail

I recently had an engine painted by Christine Brayden in Philadelphia. She
did an excellent job, including custom decals.  I have a quote in hand for
4 different cars she will be painting for me in 2020. Pricing is ranging
from $45-55 per car.

So, here's the question.

How many of you would like a custom RC3R car?
What style of car?
Would you be willing to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $105-125 plus
shipping for a car?
