pages with 22 photos and captions ranging from Challengers to 44 Tonners to the
Narrow Gauge Mikes. Short pieces and Railroad Mail complete this issue. Full
page ads by AAR, SP, M&St.L, FRISCO, ERIE, UP and PRR. This magazine is in
excellent condition, but does show moderate spine wear. It will be just fine if
handled with care. Your satisfaction guaranteed. Please see my other eBay
auctions for more rare and scarce railroad paper. I provide personal service
without silly eBay games like waiting for payment before shipping, mandated
payment methods, clumsy communications and charging for return shipping. Please
check my feedback and DSR's. Everything I sell is POSTPAID USA, so the winning
bid is what you pay, plus eBay’s state tax if applicable, unless you want
special services. I normally ship first day after auction ends IF I have a
payment plan & a proper shipping address, or you are a recent previous
buyer. Thank you for reading. Alden Dreyer, 91 Reynolds Road, Shelburne MA
