Big Blue has inspired some purchases

Charlie - I can only imagine your wife rolling her eyes every week when rolls of film went in for developing.  I'm so glad that she let you have your hobby - I can't imagine how I'd be modeling some of this stuff without vintage photos and your willingness to share your collection.  With digital cameras now, there's so little thought about how many pictures we take and how carefully we prepare to take one, but back in the old Kodak days, film and especially development wasn't cheap.

Got this kit in the mail yesterday along with a set of instructions from Sierra Scale Models.  It'll be a little bit before I get to civilization again, but I think powerlines should at least run up the completed Berwick Street in White Haven.  24 poles in the kit, so that should set me up nicely.  I may need a few more transformers, but I think I've seen some ideas for those in one of my old magazines.
