The April news must have been awesome

Wow, the April newsletter must have been so awesome that people were too stunned to comment!

(Either that, or we put the comment button someplace that's hard to see ...)

OK, I'll comment.

Yes.  I read the April newsletter.  After reading your inquiry, I had to go back and read it again.  Originally, I had bounced to some of the mfr's websites, then back again.  Then I got to the 40 ft. SP Harriman baggage/RPO description, and ventured off to other SP sites to find out more information:  that sounds like a kit-bash project just waiting to happen.  Add it to my list.

With this type of media, the possibilities for exploration and research are enormous.  When I was just reading print media, I'd sometimes write down websites to look up later, but usually the note just got buried in the "pile" on my desk.   So, our habits are changing.  Thanks for the push into the deep end.

Eddystone Locomotive Works and ex-Bowser cast boilers

In the first article, on page 15, the writer is recounting how the old Bowser PRR locomotive tooling has been made available to Eddystone Locomotive Works and they would continue to build PRR models but were not interested in producing kits.  I have no problem with any of that.  But ... the writer then goes on ... "E6 Atlantic, G5 Pacific ... "  Now ... unless memory fails me, the E6 was an Atlantic, but PRR's G Class were Ten wheelers and the PRR Pacific was the ever popular, incredibly famous K Class, the most famous being the K4s series.

Now I know it's a nit to pick, but calling the PRR Pacific a G5 rather than a K4 ... That's a big nit!
