The person you speak of is a member of this group. He is taking a vacation in Texas,
so he can't respond at the moment. But his other complaint is there is never a
smooth transition of power or continuity with OERM's "mission." He claims that as
each clique takes its turn at the helm, they seem more interested in dismantling
previous leaders' achievements than building upon them. Or at least disregarding the
work already done. I wonder what the recent passing of Ward Kimball will mean to the
future of his narrow gauge collection he donated to the Orange Empire? Perhaps some
of the fans out there are so wrapped up in the legend of the Great Conspiracy
theory, they have an emotional need to replicate the destruction of LATL/PE! ;-)
This individual also mentioned that OERM managed to acquire a large collection of
spare PCC parts from El Paso. At least PTM is putting their "PAT stash" to good use!
