Weaver Pocahontas Set; Modeling Committee

[NW Modeling List]

Stephen:   Our modeling committee was not consulted about the Weaver 
cars. I offered to give them information and was told they already have 
all the information they need. So this is Weaver - not us.The go to 
person is Bill McClure.  And relax! We don't have any particular 
authority. We are just folks who are willing to do whatever we can to 
enhance the supply of N&W models (and articles for the Arrow on building 
and kit-bashing.) I think Bill has already put a post on the list about 
how he appointed us in an arbitrary fashion. But again, we have no 
particular power; so don't get bent out of shape because you weren't 
asked. Your time may come.   Jim Nichols
