I'm looking for articles called the CP&I Story from Model Railroader Jan - July1974. If anyone has the issues for sale or can help with scans, I'd be very interested to hear from you
I can't help you personally but the first place to check is your local library. When I left California, I donated MR's and MRC's going back to the mid-60's, so you might luck out there. If a train show happens to be in your area, ther are always guys selling old MR's for pretty cheap, usually a buck or less a copy. There are always lots for sale on e-bay too (http://toys.shop.ebay.com/?_from=R4...311&_nkw=model+railroader+magazine&_sacat=220), although you'll have to pay a little more.
You're looking in the wrong magazine. The mag you want was called Railroad Modeler. It's no longer in print and hasn't been for a very long time. The CP&I was a switching layout that the mag did over three issues as I recall.
I might have a copy of the mag in my considerable collection of modeling mags.
Thanks guys - I hadn't realised there ever was a Railroad Modeller - only seen Model Railroader - I sent an email to the Kalmbach Library this morning to see if they can help out
