I'm not the publisher - just sharing my thoughts.  Info (address/price) to 
order is in the message (you could also go to their website and email to 
publisher).
 
& by way of a disclaimer - ONE of the photos is from my collection but that's 
just 1/13th of the content.  For that matter I have had photos or data in a lot 
of places but then so have a lot of other Q fans, some far, far more than I.
 
Happy New Year!

Gerald,

If you still have one of the 2011 calendars, let me know, save it for me,
and I'll send the check tomorrow.

Although they have been available several weeks (& nearly sold out now due
to most going to past customers), the 2011 Burlington wall calendar from
Milepost 206 is another winner. Unique this yr is the chance to 'review' it
in entirety at the website but wait till you hold it in your hands (all 11"
x 17" on glossy stock).

There's the usual balance of old & new, Lines E & W and the usual 13 months
with 6 color, 4 'duotone' and 3 b/w photos with 2 of the color pics repeated
on the front/back covers. Highlights are the pic of an early FtW&D Geep
with 3 different waycars, an Erie shovel riding rails mounted on a flat car
as it unloads ballast, an old Q steam loco with a CW (coach/waycar) 'hop'
and a crossing scene with a vintage auto & crossbuck for era modelers.
Photographers include Harold Ziehr, our own Phil Weibler and others plus old
photos from collections. The latter includes a small town 'yard' scene
published last year in a Q book but now in a larger format & better
reproduction full of so much detail it looks like one of those contrived
Fine Scale Miniature scenes. A 'mystery' pic is the CZ Silver Solarium in
LaCrosse, WI in early 1970.

There are photos and there are photos: Phil Weibler's view of Quincy include
the old depot 'tower' expertly framed by rolling stock, a color view of a
post-WWII depot has a colorful gas-electric and the view from the rear of
the "mixed" on the Washington, IA branch shows it handling an old coach AND
a Troop Kitchen aka Q Express car (which has been the subject of a lot of
posts recently). Probably the best compliment I can give this calendar
series is one never sees a used one for sale on eBay or at meets.

Those of you who have ever purchased this calendar product undoubtedly have
the 2011; those that have not, there's but a few left: $12.95 + $3 postage
to MP206, Box 543, W. Burlington, IA 52655-0543.
