Cocoa Beach Meet

One of these years I'm going to go to this event...I've been down there for work on the weekend of or the weekend after for the past 7 years!

One year I had time, but we're 2 hours away and only have 5 hours of free time - That won't work.

So as I have in the past, I enjoy seeing all the great models on my computer screen. Thanks to Dave Hussey for posting these - Thought I'd share the link.

Waynesboro C&O station in 1984

Mainline Modeler did a great series on Waynesboro, VA many years ago. One thing I wish the series had was pictures of the C&O station before it was torn down in 1986. Watching TV and surfin the web for pics and found these taken in July 31 1984. this is exactly how I will need to model the station. Should be fun!
