Visitors from a strange land beyond the mountains..

This week you can expect 2 e-mails as the stuff keeps pouring in. Tonight we are treated to new stuff from a recent new member called Doug Nyschwonger (spelling?) who moved here recently from Seattle area ( I think they have a football team over there) who is known for writing 4 books for us railfans. 2 Northern Pacific and 2 Milwaukee Road books so he knows stuff. He is a prolific modeler with lots of stuff from the midwest including these GM&O locos.
Last week's introduction was to the Monon Railroad that ran somewhere near Indiana? All of his stuff
is well done and detailed by Doug.
 
Chicago & Northwestern was consumed by the UP back a number of years ago but modeling keeps it alive.
Doug did all the work on these.
 
Little known railroad is the Des Moines & Central Iowa but where they run is a mystery to me. Doug model.
 
The Burlington Route or CB&Q are still looking for those elusive Zephyrs along their right of way
but we keep hoping. Doug model.
 
One of our ex-members showed up at the club and got trackage rights to run Tacoma Rail locos on our layout.
His name is Robert Case from Centralia. No relation to Doug.
