Received my copy today around 11AM EDT. Congrats on your first review. I am also a Chessie fan, in 1979 we purchased our first house in downtown Plymouth, Michigan. We used to walk to the Chessie yard, that had a operating roundhouse. Most of the roundhouse has been torn down and the CSX uses the remaining building for storage.
One of our first locomotive was a Lionel Chessie #8470. Built 1974 from the General Mills Era, purchased this loco used at a train show at Ann Arbor High School. Still have the locomotive and went to the same train show about three weeks ago.
