Hi Jim, we miss you.

Happy B-Day

A Very Happy Birthday to you. I thought we were the same age, but I guess I have you beat by about 2 3/4 years. You are only as old as you feel and that test is always taken about noon. Not first thing in the morning.

Long live the Ohio Southern.

Happy B-Day Jim H.

I enjoyed your articles in the magazines. I like your DT&I and Ohio Southern railroad.

Happy 75th Jim! I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I have always enjoyed your writting and the pictorial visits to the Ohio Southern.

Thanks Gary for the info, and I also wish Jim a happy 75th. I got to sit with him on the bus trip to the DOT Test Center in Pueblo as part of the 1977 NMRA Convention, and we exchanged a lot of information on painting cars and locomotives.

I hope he can attend the next DT&I Modelers Meet in Ironton, OH on August 5th.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
