NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 92, Issue 14

[NW Mailing List]

Can you advise me as to how I can access Carpenter's Maps?
I'd like to see what he shows for the Pocahontas Division. I am modeling it in N-Scale. Maps are essential to get things right.

Thanks for any information you can provide me on "C's" Maps.

>Can anyone confirm the year in which Position Light Automatic Block Signals were installed on the Punkin' Vine? I think it was 1928. I have a piece of original PL equipment that I want to letter with an identification, but want to make sure before I uncork the paint. ..
