Thank you received: 25

I am resurrecting a search from a few months ago, looking for drawings for a G3 - I am hoping to make #217. Real Reading drawings are good, but I could likely easily settle for a Mainline Modeler etc article.

I have someone waiting to make the tender for me. I want to get going while the opportunity is there.

Let me know what you have or where to look, besides the PA state archives. . We will figure it out. If there is a magazine I will buy it.
