Shortliner,
That's one of the better descriptions of the use of car cards I've seen.
I like seeing a photo of the car itself on the card pocket. Very cool! Thanks!
I probably shouldn't speak for Richard but I think he and I are wanting to generate rail traffic as prompted by industry demand without needing to make a card for each car. I'm one of those modelers with a number of identically numbered cars from the same manufacturer and would need to do some decal work to individually number them. That's not a high priority modeling job for me as it might be for others who use those numbers for switch lists and car cards.
Again though, I really liked your presentation of the car card system. I can see why so many people like it.
Ralph
