Anyone know how common this was? Ray Breyer

Subject: [STMFC] RE: More modeling resources Folks; I just wanted to bring to your attention my current most-used resources for modeling motivation and ideas, with the hope that you might find them to be the same. The other is something I keep browsing, and have a growing list of copies from, and that is the University of Pittsburgh's digital library. There are hundreds of wonderful photos (albeit in B&W) that show numerous subjects you might like. They have many photos from the P&LE's photo library now scanned, and I have found numerous mislabeled photos that show freight cars in situations in which I have never seen them. There is a great shot of an old P&LE box in the "Serves the Steel Centers" scheme being cut and spliced into a longer version, as just one example. They also have numerous artistic shots from the collections that have, that can be reproduced by them in large formats. Just the ticket for your office wall! Have a super day, Elden Gatwood
