That's fine with me. It is important that we remember that history. It's such a shame that the "old-timers" that worked on the EBT during the common carrier-era are either dead or almost there. I won't have an oppurtunity to speak with any of them about the EBT any time soon, so that really stinks.
An update on the project:
A member of the local train club brought in a cardboard box packed to the brim with stripwood that he got on e-bay for a couple dollars. No orders with Northeast Scale Lumber today!
I ordered the coal hopper that I will be using for this one. It's nowhere near an EBT hopper, but it's close enough.
I have also picked out a piece of foam that I will be doing the scene on. When the layout comes around, I'll lay it down with the rest of the scene already on it. Need to get some track and ballast together, but otherwise I'm all set for now.
I wasn't thinking yesterday when I was fishing through the stripwood and never grabbed any planking. I'll have to get that Tuesday.
