Jay, coming along nicely I must SAY! The Pontiac Blue brings back memories of my GTO. I think I have some engine paint around here somewhere still from the rebuild.

Well Matt call Chuck at 800-554-7463 I paid 50.00 for it. He does mail for free if the order is 50 or higher. If not it is just 3.95 not bad either way. I just got my Mason book in today too. O by the way I have the list of all the books that he has and it is 911railroad books. Have him mail you a list, alot of good books in there.

Hasn't been a priority, Vic gave me a link to it on amazon but my wife and kids tell me they rake you on shipping. There is a local train store that has books I'll check there first then I'll call Chuck.
