In preparation for open house all of my car cards got out of place. Or maybe all of my cars got out of place. Anyway, the cars were not where the cards said they were. So I shut down the C&O while I sorted things out. After 2 days of finding cars and matching them with cards, I now have more cards than cars. I don't get it I am missing about 30 cars. Before someone suggests theft during open house. Maybe one but not this amount. I don't know why I am telling you guys about this except maybe some commiserating.

Good Idea hidden tracks would be a logical place for hidden cars

I only suggested it because forgetting about cars on hidden track is something I'd do!

Holy Wandering Wagons Batman!
You hit the nail on the head...Jimmy Hoffa and his guys have your cars. Find him - and you find your cars!
And if that doesn't work...check the place where the socks go when they disappear from the dryer.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

Haz-mat? What is that? I model the 1940s maybe a little into the 50s. Remember I am the guy who gets excited about steam.
Yea haz-mat, passenger trains flush onto the tracks and he is worried about haz-mat OK.
