It's starting to look/sound like we could use a poll, to determine what we'd 
like to concentrate on here - It certainly seems like we have interest in a 
MSTS module project, and maybe someone (who knows more about YahooGroups than 
I) could set up a "conference room" for those of us who want to participate 
in such a venture.

I would like to suggest, though, that we should look at this not only as a 
toy for our membership to "play" with, but as an outreach to people who are 
less aware of the CB&Q and its appeal . . .

For that reason, I think it would be good to use a shovel nose, since you 
can't get any more distinctively "Burlington" than that . . . and it would be 
more effective if we have good scenery and intriguing operation.  Using the 
same route I discussed earlier, we might expand the attraction a lot more, 
though, if we used the Zephyr Rocket and allowed the option to go all the way 
to the Twin Cities . . . although we'd have to solicit our brothers in RITS 
to help with information, we'd have that weird "switchback" maneuver the ZR 
had to make in order to get to/from the RI main into the back of the Q yards 
and back up to the depot . . . and don't forget the wye entrance to the 
Hannibal station, either . . .

Do we have enough interest and potential participants to set up an e-
conference on the project?
