The last remaining Hawaiian railway roundhouse may be demolished. The owner's want to sell the property and only see the nearly 100 year old building as a liability. What should be done? Should I put up a KickStarter program, seek a benefactor, or put together a partnership and buy it?

Okay, you guys and gals are probably thinking "oooooh, I wonder what this is! It sounds like a movie trailer, and a bit exaggerated, but I'll look anyway because the title sounds catchy.". Well, basicly, I ordered a B&M Dietz vesta, it came today, I found the wick was the wrong size and had been sloppily trimmed, the wick tube was loose, and the fuel tank/burner assembly was not coming out. I managed to get it out using a hammer, and a skrew driver (the lantern is fine, it wasn't as nasty as it sounds, and I did try using maximum strength first).

I've been out several times in the past year taking measurements of the area I'm modeling. Along with the cars and engines and details like signs, tracks, etc., I want the roads and land to be correct too.

Need some help with a prototype research for a possible modeling project. This will be scale pecific. There are none made in this scale. I have been doing some research on the Southern Pacific GS series of engines. Of the six series of engines, GS-1 through GS-6 there was a use of 3 different style drive wheels, spoke's on the GS-1 to Boxpok drivers on the GS-2 through GS-6. I'm looking for engineering drawings of the GS-4 Boxpok. They are different form the other GS series. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
