    Wayne was on Staff here. He was known as our "Answer Man", and the only person to ever hold that title. Believe me, he is indeed missed.

    River_eagle's photos reminded me of a couple baggage cars that I've had in boxes for years. Its not worth a lot, I don't mind taking a chance so why not donate to the cause? I don't have much to decorated /decal it with but it would be nice to have a picture of the finished product before the G&OM's flag falls.

    So, first of all, why is the GO&M flag falling? Secondly, i migbt have a slight confession to make...[​IMG]

    I managed to track down the poster on another forum recently, and this might have FIMALLY come home... Been sitting on her until i had the car rolling again and i was trying to get interior partitions wedged inside.pgive me a week guys, or better yet, start PMING ME if any of you stillbwant to see the Watash. Im only gonna send the one though.

    One what? The car is mine, until recently it was strandedon. The Port Abel Railway in New York. Ill save you all the yarn about how he couldnt log in here and couldnt get ahold of me and how all of my phone messegaes were garbled and how his phone appearently didnt have a little feature called RE¤¤¤¤INDIAL on it when i callexhim AND HIS WIFE and MAILEX A LETTER TO HIS WORK. /Rant

    Gp30, if you want, i can mail you some decals to finish the baggage car. Ive been meaning to do a set for an RPO ive bren wanting to do as a TBX patched Westport Terminal dynamometer car, in honor of Wolfgang but im nowhere near ready for that quite yet

    I'm still willing to host this car. I have some old passenger cars from my former Oklahoma & North Eastern RR, plus the business car Grand Lake, that I could run in a business special. What would you like for motive power- an F7 or a couple of RS3? Or better yet, a Frisco GP7 pulling the train........

    BTW- glad to see the Watash back on home rails.

    Yeah, we could get the baggage and the Watash together as a pair and get the exchange going again.

    As to why the G&OM becoming a fallen flag, sources who wish to remain anonymous say to look for a "press release" coming this week.

    Morgan-

    Could it be used in a similar role to adaptations we see with such as the UP steam program, or MILW 261? For tools or crew purposes?

    Two quick updates, things i felt were missing from 8701:[​IMG] Walthers diaphram. Piece of cake to install.
    [​IMG][​IMG] the other is a quickie interior. The inside is rather uneven and "crammed" is a good word to describe it. The bedrooms and kitchens are not actually devided, but the small side windows make it somewhT hard to tell and finding sleeper interior parts is extremely difficult. Gives the car a tiny bit more weight thugh and she feels less hollow...

    Soon...

    I'd be more than happy to take a picture of your train on our club layout. Just let me know.
