rdg5310... Reading RR Magazine?? This is not the BeeLine?
Hmmm... who puts out this magazine (and why am I not subscribing??)
I am fimilar with the old Rdg RR mag... published by the Company back in teh day... maybe even into the 1970's. But once they went bankrupt and folded into Conrail, I would have thought that was over... 2009??

Can you scan these pictures/plans and post here or email me?

Or maybe I can borrow that issue for a bit (or where can I find one?)

thanks!
Thanks,
Barry

Barry, go to www.rails-n-shafts.com. I see they have a copy there. It's $5.00. Outer Station project printed the magazine. Ask them to confirm it's the right mag. If not, I will scan the article for you.

Thanks Ron... send them a message through their website.

Turbo... thanks for the pictures. Your model is great and I hope I can come close to that with mine. Looks like mine will also be the Shamokin, since it was used in the Port Richmond area (where mine will reside on my layout) and that picture of it next to a coal barge could have almost been taken on my layout.
Thanks,
Barry
