[N&W] Re: Looking for a print

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The N&W Steam Loco roaring past a drive-in movie is a Winston Link photo,
and a very good one!  It is can be found in one of his books, Steam Steele
and Stars, I think.  I suspect that the photo itself may be available in
poster form at the Virginia Museum of Transportation, if anywhere.  They
have a number of them, and that is where I would make the first inquiry.

Good luck!  I might add that that photo has superior artistic quality as
well, partly because of the contrast with the airplane and partly because it
shows an era of life clearly at the drive-in movie, and partly because it is
a good shot of steam power.

O. Winston Link did this in about three or four ways.  One was with an A -
the 1242, and a jet plane on the screen.  Another had an actor on the screen
with another engine - I don't remember which one - passing.

But they are Links.  They were done at Iaeger, W. Va.

It is a O Winston Link photo and I believe you can still get one from the VTM
in Roanoke.

         The print you are looking for is a B&W photo by O. Winston Link, you
can find the photo in the book Steam, Steel And Stars, pages 124 & 125. I'm
not sure where to find an individual print.

I don't know if a print is available, but the Winston Link photo you refer 
to is entitiled "Hot Shot," and it's found towards the back of his book, 
Steam, Steel, and Stars. This book was published in 1987 by Harry N. 
Abrams, Inc., New York. You might try to contact Abrams.

	That is an O. Winston Link photo. I recall that the Virginia Museum
of Transportation in Roanoke has them for sale framed and unframed.
Hope this helps.

 From your description you are looking for "Hot Shot" , an O. Winston Link 
photo
of the Iaeger Drive-In form 1955.  The Va. Museum of Transportation has a 
number
of the OWL posters available, I'm not sure if this is one or not.

I ordered one from the following company.  They were selling these via 
eBay.  Be
warned, however, I've had two shipped to me and both were damaged due to poor
packaging.  Be sure to pay extra for insurance, even though neither of mine was
insured!  I've now got to send both back, at my expense, and wait for a third.
I've specified that the next one be sent in a stiff cardboard tube, not USPS
Priority Mail box.

Thanks, Fred, I've ordered the book and am one step away from owning the
print itself once I have the details.

Thanks again,
