Hi Bill, Couldn't see an email address for you in your profile, was wondering about your connection to Kodak? I worked for Eastman Kodak for 16 years started in 1982. Have been collecting Kodak cars when I can find them. I have the Kodak Park unlicensed K-line set, some KMT Kodak cars and Weaver tank cars. Noticed your 44 tonner and The Hopper. Email in my profile if you want to chat.

Thanks,

Jeff

Too funny. BIll & Jeff: I share the affinity for items by Eastman Kodak. Even funnier I also worked there for 16 years starting in 1982.  Took me from NY to San Francisco to Sacramento then to Charlotte. 

The story on the K-Line set is Kodak never granted permission for the rights and as such K-Line was forced to stop production limiting the number of sets. Not sure if that story is 100% accurate - but I have heard it that way from a couple of sources.

Weaver did some nice Tankers with Eastman Chemicals on the side and as you mentioned there are a few cool boxcars from KMT. 

Kodak Park used to have quite the little railroad.

Glad to have worked for the big yellow mother.

Paul
