Spring Mills Depot announces CF, CG, CH, C2, C-10, C-10a, C-30, and C-30a models at NWHS convention

[NW Modeling List]

Fred,

You and Steve are to be commended for your vision and energy in getting
this project to this point. I know of not only the amount of time you both
have put into the project, but the other resources you have invested as
well. Bill and Ken, the owners of Spring Mills Depot, are interested in
producing only accurate prototype models.  I recently purchased their B&O
wagon top covered hopper and it is an exquisite model.

As to why nothing has been mentioned about this announcement on this list,
especially since the announcement is now a week old, is unexplainable. As I
have said before, it is one thing to be on a committee; it is entirely
different to actually do work for the committee's goal.

Kudos and a big thank you to you and Steve.

Let me know if I can assist in any way.

Jim Brewer
