I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

I could use those as well. Do you have a larger version of that scan you can eMail?

Thanks,

Whew! You are going back to the Stone Age on this one. Bruce Smith died close to 20 years ago and he had folded Western Railcraft quite a number of years before that. I just happened to see Helen Smith at the March 1st Arizona Division meet - she is still active in modeling and makes a good percentage of these NMRA meets - but there is no way I could put you in touch with her to see if there was any way she might be able to help you out.

RETAININGLY yours

 From "Western Pacific Pictorial" by John L. Ryczkowski

 

There are two color photos on page 29 of 'Western Pacific Trackside with Bob Larson" by Tim Morris and a couple b&w photos in Virgil Staff's "D Day on the Western Pacific".

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

Many Many thanks.   I had hopes that someone would have a copy.  These will be a major help, now if I can enlarge the text to a readable size I'll be done.

Thanks again
