I note the "broom" was once again the point of contention. :D :P

Thanks for the heads up Paul! I don't think I will ever live that broom down! And those un-scale shadows. Dang.  Thanks for the defense!

Those were some beautiful machines at that Vermont museum. And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. Apparently.

I know Gil, those groupies are a pain. ;D

I saw that model in 1987 at the Narrow Gauge Convention in Pasadena, California. As I recall, Chuck enhanced it later. It was easily the best model in the room. -- Russ

Chuck will correct me if I'm wrong but the first time I saw the model was in 1987. When he brought it to my house he had enlarged it and added more detail.

By the way, Marc, have you been playing hooky again?

And the really depressing thing is that Chuck's modelling skills were better 28 years ago than most of rest of us will attain in our whole life times .

  Surely he must be getting close to finishing it by now ?

Don't be. By my count you are only 38 years old. -- Russ
