Email from Mr. Corley

This picture is: A view looking southwest towards Central Railway Station across Belmore Park, Sydney, in 1926. In the foreground can be seen the approaches to the City underground railway, then still under construction. Six tracks would eventually pass under the catenary masts and enter tunnels a couple of hundred yards or metres to the lower right. The imposing building to the right is the Tivoli Theatre, destroyed in the late 1960s.

Here is the website for the photo:

Have you heard of Athearn? Well Mr. Corley sent us a email with pictures of trains for sale. As I looked at the website I did notice that they forgot to say what gauge they are. The website also mentions that you can put in your zip code and they will find a hobby shop near you that sells their items. I'm wondering if you can buy the train online and then pick it up from the store near you. If that can be done, do you know how much you would save in S&H?

Here are some of the website they gave us..... (Remember to double click on the UNDERLINED text.)

Oh here is some new information. I live in Ypsilanti and there was a hobby shop called Ryders at Carpenter Rd. and Elsworth. They have moved. They are now at Carpenter Rd. and Packard. It's in the mini mall with Kroger. Right next to the CVS. It's a pretty big store. If you want to check the place out, let me know anhd I'll give you better instructions.
