Passing of Alvin F Stauffer

I betcha that comeback, as true as it is, garnered lots of favourable feedback.

It does the trick! I don't mind a little bit of chop busting related to the railroads we model, but sometimes people need to be reminded that this is just a hobby. All that PRR/NYC nonsense should have died 40 years ago.

Chris, there's a lot of good info in back issues of the Keystone. I suspect that many of the most productive people have either passed on or are old enough to be less active. However, I believe the Keystone is all on DVDs, so I would check the PRRT&HS site. I'm not sure how well the Keystones are indexed. I know there's quite a bit about the electrification, modernized passenger equipment, and more recent developments, especially in the Philadelphia area. If you can't find what you're looking for, PM me -- I have a VERY low membership number (the only reason I wasn't kicked out 10 years ago!) and can probably find the Keystone issue to point you to.

But it looks like you have the current Keystone and know all about how it is these days. Care to contribute to the new-built T1????

I haven't gotten the new Keystone, and I haven't heard about this new built T1 (is this the BLI model?). Hopefully, I'll get more in the loop as time passes.

I've been trying to get involved in some of these organizations so that I can learn a little more, but so far my experiences haven't been fantastic. No one local appears to be on the Conrail Historical Society (and few there have been able to answer my questions), and though my club has recently made everyone join the NMRA (they pay the dues), I haven't been able to go to any of the NMRA meets either.
