I live the the San Francisco Bay area,  I used to be able to buy 1 or 2 inch thick pink or blue foam board locally at Home Depot or Lowes.  No longer carried.  Does anyone know a local source??

Am I not finding it on the discussion fourm?

I was thinking it might be nice to have a section dedicated to local clubs. We have so many yet they often are hard to find. I would like to offer up a suggestion of having a section simply dedicated to clubs and possible to have it set up fairly simple with notes on said clubs location,hours of operation,website info etc... This might help both the clubs and hobby grow?

Is there a section or am I blind? Thoughts?

Took a few photos of the small Greenfield Ethanol plant in Johnstown, ON on the weekend and noticed an interesting arrangement of ballast and wood crossing at the end of the spur for corn unloading. Is the ballast there to slow down any stray covered hoppers before they hit the bumper? What might the wood crossing be for; the track mobile to get on/off the rails?

Here's a photo showing the end of the spur in relation to the rest of the plant.

I just purchased your Early Wood Frame and Stone Structure plans. It looks like a good book and excellent value, but I have some gripes about the store purchase page.
