Hi Guys. Cleaning up the train room today and finding out that I didn't need to spend that 8 dollars last week on dull aluminum Polly-S paint. I already had a bottle under the rubble. Doh!
Anyway I came across an empty box that is heading for recycling, but not before I see if I can trace it's origins. I picked it up at a flea market a few years for the milled wood passenger car bits and other gubbins that were inside. They've gone into the parts stash, leaving me with this empty box. It apparently held a Train Stuff 24953 coach. It was mailed from Train Stuff in New Brunswick, NJ to a Robert T. Hall of Belmont MA. Is he still around? Did anyone on the list know him? No particular reason I guess other than it doesn't feel right to chuck out a bit of someone else's modeling history without knowing something about them. I don't know if you call that archaeology, history, being nosey, or just plain goofy. I didn't get the name of the person selling it, but maybe he has family in southern Ontario. Who knows? Cheers Jim Martin
