A passing note...
Posted by Mikeygaw on Sunday, May 16, 2004 10:20 PM
As those who hang on MSN already know, I got myself a fancy new digital camera and went out testing in some taking train pics [:D]. Well, i've built myself a little website to show them off.

http://www.trainweb.org/mikeystrainpix/index.html

There's not a lot up right now (which is a major understatement...) but hey... it's summer time coming... i should be able to find some time to go take more pics [:D]

Hey Mike, thanks for the heads-up on your web site.

One of the shots in the historical page is of a Western Maryland Coach.
Is it a 60 footer, like the models recently released by Rivarossi?

Hey Mike - what about that Western Maryland coach I mentioned previously? [:-,][:-,]

Would that be the same as those new Rivarossi 60 foot models[?]

Nice site!

Not to start a flame war but I've been waiting 5 months for a site from Trainweb and nothing has come of it. I might try Railfan.net even though you have to pay.

[:)] Thanks Mike, I'll keep an eye down here to see if anything comes up about how extensively the 60 footers were used.[:)]
