Re: Magazine needed
It is a great article. Does anyone know of a source of decals?
Specifically I'm looking for Eastern roads during the late 40's to early

Hi William,
There was the time Barney was returning to Mayberry on the train and it
showed him riding on either a ATSF or a UP train. (Can't remember which.)

I have a request for you all to discuss -- What do you think
of Hart Convertible gondolas as a possible resin kit? I think

Re: Freight Car Surprise in Boston Harbor
The Boston aerial photos are identified by area / neighborhood / township (what's the proper nomenclature?). For example:
Boston. Bellevue
Boston. Codman Square

Do my eyes deceive me or are the freight cars on those floats all leaning toward the center?
