Today is Norwegian Constitution Day and it reminds me of our late friend and forum member Stein. I had the honor and pleasure of showing him my layout last Summer while he vacationed in Minnesota, and we had a ball running trains for a couple of hours. In anticipation of his visit I created the sign proclaiming that my town of West Mill celebrated it's Norwegian heritage annually. Shortly after his visit I was delighted to receive this Norwegian State Railroad passenger car which I am running as a fan trip special at West Mill. Thank you Stein. Best wishes to all...

Ralph are you a fan of the Prairie Home Companion and Lake Wobegon by any chance?
And we do wish a Happy 17th of May to all our Norwegian friends and members as well.

Your tribute is very touching Ralph.

Great Layout by the way, no wonder Stein enjoyed himself.
Ralph, What a great tribute to Stein, both in life and in memory. I really miss stein's discussions. He was very insightful and it was a pleasure to hear from him.
