Thank you Hol. I was a BRHS member for about 10 years until a few years ago
when I simply was getting buried in paper and decided to pare things back. I
will try to get one through the company store. Was the entire set always run,
or was it ever operated with fewer cars? I'd like to represent it on my
layout, but a 10 car set is just too many for the limited exposure it would
get. Any HO models available?
