Bruce, I talked with Joe last fall at Naperville about a clinic, and he asked for a copy of the cd and a copy of the handout after we established a topic. And he was in no particular rush for

Clark, Thanks for the clarification... Dang, your organized. I usually come up with a title and then forget about it until about 2 weeks prior to the meet, when I go into production mode <G>. I

Yes, that is not what we did at the WPM when I was in charge of it. I would take people's suggestions as to who might be a good clinician, and then ask them if they'd like to give one, and leave the

I gave him an outline of what I wanted to do and he accepted that. I've been working on this thing for months...year, so mine's 75% done, or close enough of a preview. Clark Propst

Really? That's the first meet of this type that I've ever heard of that has asked for the complete clinic before deciding that you can give it! I usually have an idea for a clinic, and then, if it

Bill, Last Nov I sent an email to Joe inquiring about doing a clinic. His reply was that he wanted a copy of the clinic and handout. I responded with the question of what format and where to send it.

Jim, I did go there before I sent my message about no details regarding presentations. Bill Welch

Gareth; That's a bargain! The Walthers car closely matches the Commonwealth cast steel flat car, as built for many RRs, but not quite exact for the PRR F41, which utilized the PRR's own design

Guys, Here is part of the note that Jo D'elia sent me when I inquired about the Naperville meet this fall: The room rate is $92, the same as last year. The best part is that the rate begins earlier

Larry; In HO scale, Mark Vaughan has a nice set (Set #CC) of decals for Wabash open hoppers that includes one car's worth of lettering and reporting marks for Ann Arbor hoppers. It includes the

Any suggestions on decals for such a project? Many thanks. Larry Rast Fort Wayne, IN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Bruce, They had 75 in the 30900-30974 series. That number was reduced to 13 in 1956, down to 1 in 1961 and all gone in 1964.   Rich Christie

Folks, With some PFE reefers just about done, I'm getting into a hopper mood! I have a few excess C&O war emergency hoppers (P2K), but since C&O cars were rarely, if ever seen on the PRR, I was

Ben: When I try to access this link and sign into Yahoo all I get is a message that says that I have to access Web Access. I'm ready to sign up and don't care that a list of presenters is not yet

In past years, this is about when Martin sent out letters to potential clinicians. He'd send out the meet announcements later, once he had his clinics lined up. Joe included a call for clinicians in

It is frustrating not to see any information that hints at presentation content. Bill Welch

Yes, you're right Tony they have many different one that all look nice but a car full of them would be even more expensive. The big ones cost about $15 each! Try doing a search of duha or volny. Ed
