Don't forget Roger, I can get on the old Atlantic & Yadkin Line from here to Mt. Airy and steam right into your big "Whitsett Yard" in Germanton. Those fancy NS diesels with the "Mule Logo" on the nose will stand in awe when a little coal-fired 2-8-0 passes through. I need to lay a little soot to improve the kerosene atmosphere in that Yard.
You need to go back and collect all the Southern early diesels to solidify you NS heritage: Fairbanks Morse 800 H.P. Powered Rail Cars[1939], FTs[1940-43], DL-109/110s[1941], E6s[1941] and you know the rest, F3s delivered postwar,1946 and on.
Anyway hope you are doing well. Are you all through with School for now?
