If you are in the western Pennsylvania area on sunday 9/11, stop in PTM and
see not only the antique trucks, but the wonderful modules put together by
several members of the East Penn Traction Club.  Bob Dietrich has spent a
long time not only building this module, but documenting the history of the
area on his website:     http://www.eastpenn.org/shj.htm

These gentlemen prove that realistic operation with overhead is not only
possible, but very rewarding.  Bravo!

I had a sneak peek yesterday and the modules are fabulous.

On another note, PRCo 4398 received two coats of primer this weekend and is
starting to look like a car again.  The floor is installed and now they are
ready to start working on putting things like controllers, brake systems,
door valves etc. back into the car.  Project manager Jack Sutherland is the
driving force on this long overdue restoration.
