Duncan;
I'd be happy to scan the photo for you. What format would you like it
in and what resolution (i.e. how big a file do you want?)
I'm considering modeling a section of the K-Line (Maybe Burlington to
Keokuk) to provide more operational potential than the B&NW which is my
initial foray in to Burlington modeling. I'm firmly set in the Circa
1934-36 time frame though. I'd like to find fellow modelers with which
to share information and ideas.
Best regards, Rob Adams
