[PRCo] Re: MULTIPLE CARS AT ONCE

[Fred W. Schneider III]

Am I the only one who calls it an inherited disease?  Dad built 00 gauge
models back when one built everything including the permanent magnet DC
motor.  He once remembered having received a letter from Albert Kalmbach
claiming a new magazine was about to be published.  He told dad that, if
he chose to subscribe to Model Railroader, Kalmbach would appreciate
cash because his bank charged three cents to cash a check.  

Dad took a lot of pictures but trains and trolleys were secondary.  But
there was one negative of a Bombay roofed car in Lancaster, Ohio.  He
claimed he went there because someone he knew in Marietta told him about
that ancient fleet.  I know where all the Mon-West Penn routes ran in
Marietta, Ohio ran because dad showed me.  I still have two long reels
of 8 mm movies ... one of the most boring scenes is a goes-on-forever
string of oil tank cars rolling through Irwin during one of his lunch
hours in the War.  But I can't project it ... gave the projector to
PTM.
