Re: Thanks, Al and Patricia

Been reading the accolades, which to me seem an understatement. I look at Al Westerfield as the Les Paul of freight car modeling. He as a chemist created the field and the market, and he's done it

Re: Thanks, Al and Patricia

I want to add my thanks for your contribution to prototype and period modeling. Your efforts are one of the forces that made it possible for prototype modeling to be more than a tiny fringe

Re: Thanks, Al and Patricia

I would hope Al will stay tuned into the STMFC List and continue to share his vast prototype expertise. Will the ORERs and photo CDs still be available? Al Kresse Romeo,
