Hi everybody,

Does anybody know if somebody has made poles to use for the Picnic? What are the sizes of the stake pockets on 118? Thanks,

Joe

I dont think I like the ides of the tall poles on the flatcars because there to tall. But if we cut them to a smaller size then it will look nice on both of them.

The poles that were eventually constructed are based on similar poles pictured on the original WW&F. They look kind of big, but that's what was used.

Oh I though they were suppose to be smaller?
