I picked up my four sheets of polystyrene last night. I should be well set with backdrop material for some time to come!
I also received QSI upgrade chips for my BLI heavy Mikes. Those came out over a year ago, I think, but I only just now got around to buying them. Hopefully I'll be able to get them installed soon.
We've got a full weekend of working on the house planned, but maybe I can steal an hour or two and get to the basement to work on the trains.
About Me
- Mark B.
- Allendale, SC
- I grew up in Wyoming, mostly living in areas served by the railroads I model. I remember standing at the window in our Cody Wyoming home, staring at night at the old Husky refinery across town. I remember the bridge across the creek and under the tracks between Powell and Cody. I remember always looking for trains as we travelled through the Wind River Canyon. And I remember my mother's last home - a mobile home in Evansville next to the Burlington mainline.

Hello, my name is Anne Paddock Norskog and I grew up within sight of Camp Vocation in Wyoming. The CB&Q "coffee grinder" chugged past our ranch twice daily on its way back and forth between Powell and Cody.
If you care to look, I have painted several paintings of Heart Mountain and they can be seen on fineartamerica.com. Type NORSKOG in their browser box.
Several family members have been railroaders: Charles Cliame, Sr. Worland was a section foreman on the CB&Q; Steve Wilson was a track supervisor out of Scottsbluff; Willie Storm was an engineer out of Billings; Danny Voyles was an engineer out of Gillette; Dave Paddock out of Kansas.
We used to ride our horses up to the "Jap Camp" all the time. It was not until I became an adult did I truly understand the significance of this black eye on America. There is now a foundation in Powell gathering information about Vocation. My best to you, sir.

Hello, Pelican Annie!
I'll check out your paintings, to be sure.
Do you have any information on the foundation in Powell? If so, please post it or e-mail it to me.
Thanks!
Hi Mark,
