Andre, I had totally forgotten about that book Model Railroading until your photo brought back vague memories of when I was about six and seeing the cover of that book. Along with that memory was of running my two first Postwar engines, a 675 steam engine and a single motored GG1. I had the two next door neighbor boys over along with a girl across the street to look at my train setup. When I blew the air whistle of the 675, the youngest boy asked “what does that mean?”. At his question the girl said “it means to be quiet”. Even then I appreciated her response and it brought a smile to my face. The girl did not want the dumb question of that young boy to interfere with her concentration of the train operations!
