Re: Watching Paint Dry
Bill and Friends, Yes, it has been a while, but this is a small group (now), and in my case at least, one where I have more often responded to other's posts rather than initiate one of my own. For me

Re: Geez, watching paint dry...
That¡¯s what I love about the format. It doesn¡¯t get shut down if nobody has anything to share for a while. I have a lot of stuff ready to throw together for an awesome SN N-Scale layout from

Bill and friends, This photo is printed backwards. The principal buildings at Eastport were located on the opposite side of the tracks and the curve is wrong. See page 32 of James Harrison's

Re: Fate of SN 141
Bill, My bet would be that the WRM has 141 shots in their collection, but since most of their holdings were not available until around 2000 when the archives were removed from storage, any photos of

Re: Fate of SN 141
Yes, all I was able to dig up in the 1990s were pretty much the same as you posted. You'd think the fans back there would have nailed this unit,? however action views seems out of reach.? Wonder if

Fate of SN 141
