    Railroad Book Reviews

    Okay, this is the second book by this author, this one on the Boston & Maine in the 20th Century. The Author's love of the structures of this railroad really comes through in this book, it is not as heavy on the rolling stock as other books in the Images of Rail series. However, if you are...

    We took a drive last night through the neighborhood, counted at least 20 deer and two foxes. We won't go into the squirrels that are everywhere. Haven't seen any hummingbirds the last week or so.

    Mail Call! Railway Post Office, commonly abbreviated as RPO has rolled in!

    WOW! Those are breathtaking! I can see why they want those included at your club. We are taking it easy this morning, might take a drive to Searcy for Zaxby's and a little shopping. Gonna work some more on the new storage bin/drawer things, hopefully the other two will show up today. Working on...

    @Marlin39 he did very nice work. Those steps are really nice! Well 2 of the 4 rolling drawer things showed up today along with the desk. I will finish organizing stuff and loading them up so we will then have room to assemble and get the desk in there. Taking it slow as my back is complaining...

    TomO, quite the project there. I am wondering if it might not be more effective visually to have just 2 or 3 larger falls than the series of smaller ones. Marco, that is gonna look really sharp, there are many places in the US where two railroads crossed that had joint stations, perhaps that...
