Safety First!
"Safety First!" has always been the cardinal rule in railroading, and it's more important than ever, even though right now we don't have any trains to run. But here at Hicks Car Works we're ready to follow the guidelines to stay safe -- are you???
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't possibly get my wife to turn them out in bulk.
But they're not all that hard to make. And it's important. Back in 1918, in some places they had policemen going around looking for "mask slackers" and arresting them. Don't be a mask slacker!
Heck, how about you Randy? You've had lots of experience working with canvas roofs. It shouldn't be a long stretch (he) from there to masks. :) I'll grant you that the lack of tack strips on faces would be a problem. C Kronenwetter
Money making project for the museum Randy. Make and sell official IRM face masks. Sell them on the IRM website.

Lack of tack strips? Let's just ask ourselves how the Three Stooges would solve this problem....
