Well, no modeling was done, but I did manage to attend an LSR Cowcatcher Division meeting, where I got a rare opportunity to see an icon of model railroading, Mrs. Bobbye Hall.

For those that don't know her, Mrs. Hall was a pioneer in the hobby, becoming one of the first women in the model railroading business. She owned and operated Hall's Hobby House in Dallas as well as brass importer Hallmark Models.

The 96-years-young Mrs. Hall was there telling a few anecdotes from her years in the model railroad industry and promoting her new autobiography along with co-author Tim Blackwell, who also happens to be a good friend of mine. (Tim's also an n-scaler and a Trainboarder...maybe he'll chime in) Here's a little more info about the book, http://www.samrarail.org/LSR/BHall.htm and I think they will have a website up in a day or two if anyone would like to order a copy.

I was also able to do some railfanning on Sunday, but I haven't had an opportunity to upload my photos yet. I did catch another BNSF ACe, among other things.

Doug,

Thanks for the mention. We were really pleased at the reception of Bobbye's book at the LSR meeting you referenced. As soon as the website is up, I'll post it for those who are interested in checking out the book.

Best,

Tim
