Since highest TR2/3/3A commision number is in the TS8XXXXX range, that
would mean ther are only about 12800 of the side curtain cars left. I'm
not sure if that's a reasonable number or not. Given the number of the
cars that I've seen, that might be high.
On the other hand, who knows how many cars have been stashed away in
garages for years & years.
