Last Fall at Naperville (Lisle), Martin intimated that he planned to close out all remaining kits numbered below 50 for starters. Martin & Tricia have talked for several years about retiring and this

Does anyone know how many kits are to be discontinued in this sad gutting of Sunshine? Are we talking about 50 percent of the listings in the end? More? All? Ryan Reed

Many good resinating memories from Martin's retirement list. I built the G-5 gons for both RRs and the ATSF gon. One of the two SFRD models I built from the closeout group has an interesting I will

Hi Jim, Prototype Rails 2013 will be January 10 - 12, 2013 in Cocoa Beach, Florida. I look forward to seeing you (and many other STMFC folks) there! Regards, -Jeff

Will Cocoa be held on the 4,5 of Jan this year based on my spotty recall of prior logic? I am asking because with New Years Day on a Wednesday, it seems that activities from that day could
