Re: [CBQ] Corbin Model on ebay?

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Dennis,

While we all appreciate the outstanding Corbin models; where in the archives would the society display the model ? While I wish the BRHS had unlimited resources to preserve the many,many items worthy of preserving, we simply do not. The archive is for all intents and purposes a warehouse in which the documents are kept and research performed for the benefit of members.The BRHS has a stated policy of not being in a position to preserve CBQ equipment, so how would it preserve models, no matter how exact they may be ? The societies stated mission is to distribute information about the Burlington Route.

I would think models of Bernie Corbin should be considered for purchase by the BRHS for the archives due to their historical significance relative to Bernie's contributions to preserving the history of the CB&Q.

Those prices are an insult to the work and research that man put into those models.

The O-3 is definitely a Corbin model and the O-4 probably is too.  Bernie built several locomotives for Jim Seacrest over the years.

Subject: [CBQ] Corbin Model on ebay?

 

 

While doing an ebay search of CB&Q brass some unidentified O-scale steam locomotives surfaced.  The O-4 looks like it may be one of his but the O-3 is a dead ringer for the one on page 16 of BB 36.  Any ideas?
