Many years ago (93?), C&T left 2 drop bottom gons at the end of the tipple track that were very nice to look at over the winter time. It really added interest to the winter scene.
Who would we contact to see if it would be possible to have it done again this year. If I remember correctly there were 2 kinds of drop bottom gons.
Thanks for any help.

Wouldn't it be great if the RR would it again?

One note: Before anything substantial can be placed any distance up the coal tipple lead, some of the rail will need to be replaced. I noticed this past summer that the rail web is rusted through in several places above where they park the speeders.
