To drop a piece of rolling stock in the mail, with a waybill and have it run on another member's layout.
It'd be a car of average value and detail.
That way if it turned up missing, no big deal.
Also, if it wound up in someone's shop or R.I.P. track for upgrades, that would be cool too.
In addition to the waybills, a little pocketbook could make the journey as well.
Receiving members could write a brief note or just mark the date and railroad it visited.
It would have to be set up for standard coupler height and weighted.
A non running layout wouldn't be a disqualifier.
The host railroad could just fill out the waybill and notebook as if it was in actual use.
Heck, right now 100% of my modeling is done in my head with a list of "Some Days" and "Good Intentions".
