<*>[Attachment(s) from Pieter Roos included below] Hi all;
I was fortunate to meet more than a couple of list members at the Amherst. Not too many showed up at the suggested 1:00 Saturday meeting by the Bristol club layout; or maybe you did but we didn't know how to spot one another. I did enjoy meeting quite a few folks here and there, as well as seeing some people that I only get to spend time with at Springfield. Thanks to Don for the kind words on my USRA cars, and thanks to him for providing a great product to work with! I've attached a couple of photos, the weathering looks a bit harsh in full sunlight, but you can see the modified lower door track. The end view shows the as-built vertical brake shaft and Earl Tuson's Carmer cut leavers. Many U.S.R.A. built cars kept these features until scrapped in the 1950's or even early 1960's. Also shown are two shots of the River Raisin 0-6-0s. I also got to see castings for the forth-coming DPH X29 and Fowler boxcars, they will be a great addition to S! To answer Ed's question, the Ridgehill car is a 36 ft car for the Canadian roads. The DPH car is 40 ft car of D&RGW (standard gauge) prototype. I see a mention on the Steam Era Freight Cars list of S Scale P-70 coaches at the show, somehow I missed those altogether! Final image is of the Sn2 Crew setup, very nicely done versions of Alna (as it stands today), Randolph on the Kennebec Central and Head Tide cut on the WW&F. Pieter E.
