NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 223, Issue 16

[NW Mailing List]

Tim,
Thank you so much for the response. But, now you are on my "naughty" list,
because up until now I have been telling myself I have no need to buy a
Jawn Henry Model as my primary modeling interest is Pocahontas Division
(specifically Auville). 😞  I hadn't considered Jawn Henry sitting there at
Boaz siding, but being used as a pusher it certainly makes sense!

Thanks! (I think)
Mike Rector
