N&W caboose project Spring Mills Depot status

[NW Modeling List]

So they upset a few "foamers". Where do you suppose that ranks in the NS
box of concerns - compared to abandoning the city and state that supported
and nurtured them for over 100 years? :-/

If anything, they should look at models as recruiting... like the Navy does
with movies like Top Gun and the sequel. Charge a reasonable fee for their
art department to approve/modify the use of their trademark, and then move
on. For NS to chase $1,500 or $5,000 or whatever amount we can imagine....
that amount is a rounding error.

Community goodwill seems to be forgotten once companies grow beyond their
region.
