helped Dixon with some of the photos and proof-read his text a couple of times
to make corrections, but knew nothing of the cover painting until I received the
finished book. Robert West does good work, but obviously worked from excursion
611 photos for the cover painting, and must have been in a hurry, since the
window arrangements on the passenger cars are not particularly accurate either.
This is not his best effort. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I am not in the least surprised. Having worked for Dixon for
a number of years, I worked very hard to make sure things were correct in his
books on subjects that I knew something about, not at his expense, but my own
interest in getting it right in print.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>However, at the Bluefield Train Show in November 2005, in
regard to his own books, Dixon stated to me and my future
wife: <o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"The people who buy these books don't care if they are right
or not, or the photos look good, they only care if they have
photos."<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I was appalled. That is a direct quote, not paraphrased or

do.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

this question is that on the front cover of Dixon’s new book that was just
released is an illustration of the N&W J 604 by Robert West with a double
headlight. It just strikes me funny that a book is printed about the
history of the N&W Powhatan Arrow and the cover isn’t historically
correct. Just an observation.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
