You are indeed a creative artist!...Dear Mr. Hamer,<br /><br />You are indeed a creative artist!<br />Your job is incredibly realistic, eye-caching, and stroking the viewer's spirit! I cannot worship you for your great work, but surely, and gladly can admire, and appreciate your unique ability and talent in creating these very fine art-crafts. It appears to me that you have created every single part of your work with love!<br />I am a poor man who has nothing to offer for your rich mind and work. All I can do is thanking you, and wishing you success and ease in your life.<br /><br />Best regardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22361605.post-64302846029636300512011-03-11T13:36:48.569-08:002011-03-11T13:36:48.569-08:00Mike - I really enjoyed your site and the photos. ...Mike - I really enjoyed your site and the photos. I have only been a Maine Central and B&M fan since 1966, so I misssed all of the passenger trains and the steam power. We live in the Portland area and must be satisfied with the operations of the GRS (PanAm). Good luck - hope you get some milk trains running. Don't forget the coach or combine on the tail end. I'm finishing an article on the stainless steel cars obtained by the two railroads in 1947. Hope to have it published late this year or next.

I know your layout will be a good one too!<BR/><BR/>Mike, thanks for the fabulous story of the 1566. Wow! What a thrill that must have been as a kid plying the rails!

The 1566 is near and dear to my heart as I actually road from Dover to Exeter in the cab as a young man (12 I think) My best friend's late father was the brakeman on D5/D6 which was the local freight bewtween Lowell and Dover NH. I recall waiting at the depot in Exeter on Saturday afternoons with Tim hoping that D6 would have to stop and shift cars and offer us a chance to beg/plread with his Dad to ride on from Exeter to Dover in the buggy. Some days our hearts sank as the train would rumble on through town. Others our heats pumped with excitement as we climbed aboard the buggy for the ride to Dover and then we would not want to wash our hands for days cuz we had 'train dirt' on them. Fond memories brought back thanks to you.

R." et de Grant Knowles, en existe-il d'autres ??)et il y a une zone qui n'a jamais été photographiée; c'est la liaison du fond de décor au premier plan entre l'"Howard Street Overpass" et le "Mitchell Creek". Je serais vraiment intéressé de voir ce secteur. Si à l'occasion vous pouvez publier une ou 2 photos sur votre blog ce serait super sympa. Merci d'avance et bonnes salutations de Suisse !Laurent Siliprandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237349952188615198noreply@blogger.com
