mcdude -
Just a note of thanks for all you did to post this thread and all the photos. I thought you'd like to know that I had printed it and shared it with the owner of the model train museum in Wolfeboro last year. I had told him about the thread one day when I was there with the kids and knew he'd be very interested in it. When I returned a week later with 20+ pages in my hands, his eyes lit up like a kid's eyes at Christmas!
I mentioned it to him a couple of weeks ago when I had my boys in his museum again and he commented on what a great read this was - and I agree!
Thanks again!
