When?

[NW Modeling List]

Thank you, Ken.  I appreciate the information as it will make me a 
better modeler..  This is by far the best railroad historical society in 
the country!  I belong to a couple of others and really respect their 
work, but the NWHS has more in depth information about the railroads 
they preserve than I have found available on other railroad historical 
sites.  Keep up the good work.  If I can help in any way, tell me how.

Walter Davis, Youngsville, NC
