Spring Mills N&W Caboose

Sun May 12 20:15:55 EDT 2019

Stephen I ordered several B&O cabooses at least 4-5 years ago and paid for them. I know that if and when they come it will be a quality product.Those guys were pretty particular and they did a great job on some of the projects I did receive. As far as I'm concerned the money is spent and out of mind. If they come some day that will be good. If not, well, at least there was an attempt made to get a good quality caboose on the market. I'm not worrying about it. Of course, I don't have what you have invested, but even a bank won't return you much in interest these days. Jim Kehn  -----Original Message-----

I know that they have several projects ahead of them (3 projects @ one per year = 3 years till the N&W project).I do not feel that they will be delivered anytime soon with their current work load. I have deposits on 46 cabooses ($2500.00+) and would like to know what othersfeel about their deposits sitting there for such an extended period of time. I have thought about the return of my deposit and then reorder when they get close to actually making the cabooses. What do others feel about the deposits being held up for an stented period of time?Stephen Rineair  From: NW-Modeling-List <nw-modeling-list-bounces at nwhs.org> On Behalf Of NW Modeling List

Subject: Re: K-2/ Selling Lists  Jim,    Perhaps I am reading your commentary as snide but I am propelled to explain this matter so that everyone is aware of the trappings.    Yes, the lists were approved quite some time ago.  However, the planning of the convention took priority as the convention benefits the society and it's members. The lists, however, will only benefit a few and is also a free service which we are glad to supply. Also remember that this convention was "dumped" on Ken, Frank and myself as the original chairman and co-chairman vacated their positions and left the society. We are proud to do the work but we also have other society matters to handle along with our home life and day jobs.    If you recall, I stated to you in the business meeting that I would give the moderators the green light to proceed upon returning home for the convention. I did so on Tuesday and Dr. Greer has came through.      If I am perceiving your tone wrong then my apologies. However, if my perception is correct then such is not productive at all.  Thanks.  Todd Arnett    On Thursday, May 9, 2019, 1:53:15 PM EDT, NW Modeling List <nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org> wrote:     Wouldn't it be great if the NWHS Sales List were active!? It was approved by the BOD at least 3 months ago; supposedly it is "in the works" per information at the Roanoke convention business meeting.  Jim Brewer  On Wed, May 8, 2019 at 7:52 PM NW Modeling List <nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org> wrote:
This engine doesn’t show up on ebay very often.  Reasonable opening bid. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Norfolk-Western-K-2A-4-8-2-Mountain-Key-Samhongsa-Brass-HO-UP-BA206/382931677469?hash=item592881b11d:g:f4QAAOSwk1hcy0xf There was an unpainted K-2a on ebay a couple days ago but I don’t see it now.  It was HEAVILY tarnished and would have required a LOT of work prior to painting. Jim Kingwww.smokymountainmodelworks.com ________________________________________
