Andre
I hope you’ll come back to “s” I enjoyed the bright enthusiasm of your e-mails.
I have also enjoyed the same quandary. I originally was in ho/hon3 moved to
s in the seventies and joined nasg in 83. But I still feel the pull of *n3
Bu t I love interchange particularly the boxcars that advertised the road’s
passenger trains. Not an option in *n3. Also I like big city yards and
industrial trackage, also not an option in *n3. I visited Kansas City for some
meetings in the 70’s and was blown away by the variety of rail that existed
there. I have never gotten out of mind the warehouse district with tracks in
the streets bordered by seven +/- story buildings which I think was located
north and east of the yard you mentioned which I would put west of the union
station. It was just a great center for railroading. I probably
single-handedly kept Kodak in business in those years. And so I was interested
in your concept. Now I intend to satisfy my *n3 urge by having an industrial
Sn3 railroad which will interchange with my Standard gauge “French Broad and
Rocky Bottom” here in East Tennessee and based on the early attempts to cross
the Blue Ridge using the French Broad river to climb the western escarpment
as the “French Broad and Greenville” and the “Blue Ridge” both chartered before
the War of Southern Independence or “That recent umplesantness.” My slogan
will be “Ride the French Broad Through the Blue Ridge.” I would add that in
early spring of this year you got a general ribbing for your computer glitch
which occasioned me to write the following limerick which I never forwarded to
you as you and your joyous e-mails vanished. I offer it now.
A Limerick for Andre Ming
A model railroader of note name of Ming
Had a computer that could not spell a thing
His cronies whooped with delight
With jesting e-mails of his plight
Which proved the ding-a-ling was not Ming.
Written early march of ‘07
there really is no other choice than "s"
