I'd end up going over to a friend's house to use his well-worn copy when doing my research. Then about 15 years ago I was picking up a repair from Dr. Tinker's place and he mentioned he had a new copy for sale. I asked how much, and he looked at the retail price listed on the book, ($44.95) and said...."Forty dollars." Now I too have a well-worn copy.
I see David (Dr. Tinker) whenever I need parts. In the same way that you got the book you mentioned, I got Greenberg's AF O Gauge from him. You're lucky I wasn't there firest or I might have gotten that set book.
Are you near Belmont ? Maybe I could see your copy some time.

I'm down on the south shore, Cohasset. But if there's ever anything you're looking to research let me know, I can scan applicable pages.

Thanks Tim. I'd like to meet you sometime. Do you attend NETCA meets, or the Taunton show ? I've been talking with the Taunton show people about having an operating Lionel postwar era layout on which attendees could run theirm own trains - anything they want to show of for others. Or at the December Hub division show.
waiting for the new NETCA board to announce the spring meet date/location. I did the December meet, it was a little slow, but the layout was a hit. At the TCA convention I found the availability of a layout for people to test engines sure helped close some of the sales. The Taunton show is in September, right?
