I think a Car and Tractor Spindle Ranch version of Monopoly is an excellent idea! So just trying to be helpful, I started thinking about the game this morning... I am going to need some help from a Monopoly expert... and luckily, I know one and you will never guess where they live!
Player Pieces
Wheelbarrow
Battleship
Hat
Car
Cannon
Boot / Shoe
Iron
Thimble - This could easily just be renamed a Styxyladium
...I think there are at least a couple more pieces...
Community Chest Cards (How many of these do we need?)
- "You hit an OCHA, Go directly to Jail, Do not collect $200"
- "Fat Cat Brings 4 Busloads of Tourist to The Ticket Office, Collect $500"
Chance Cards (Again, how many of these do we need?)
- "Street Repairs, Pay $50" has an obvious OCHA tie-in

LOL...sounding good so far. I think you're on the right track. One correction tho. The Towanda-Monroeton Shippers' Lifeline, Inc. goes by the abbreviation of TMSS in the shipping world. TMSL was already incorporated when my dad wanted to use it.
A blog from me will be on this subject soon. :)
There are 16 each of Chance and Community Chest cards. I'm sure we could make up variations on the originals to accommodate this Car & Tractor Spindle Ranch version.
But of course Chicago! Im sure with all the creative minds in here, 32 cards wont be NEARLY enough space for the ideas once they start flowing.
You forgot the Scottish Terrier piece iggy...at least every game I've owned had one. This can easily be converted to a sheep or goat (grinz@ punkn) and the wheelbarrow into a beefalo (grinz @ Alice), the battleship needs to become a UFO (grinz@ Chicago), the hat a koala (evil grin @ aussy),the cannon will become a Canon (or a Nikon for iggy). Any other ideas?
I like those game pieces! :)
I look forward to seeing Alice Kay's entry on the TMSS - and maybe even seeing the train versus car pictures (I guess hoping for a video is out of the question).
I'll have to dig out the ol' Monopoly game - I think it's at my Mom's place and look through the cards and the pieces.
Yes, Google is my friend.
