Hey, no kiddin'? That's almost the name of my club, the South Shore
Model Railway Club, in Hingham, MA. www.ssmrc.org I'm the one with the
full dark beard holding the sign.

Okay, dumb question: is Charlie Fox-Wilson any relation to Lord
Charles
Fox from the 1700's? My hometown is named after Lord Fox (Foxborough,
MA),
and the town recently erected a monument to him.

AD&D? Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fan? Or coincidence? :-)

I went to the link, and I saw that your Treasurer is Bevis King. Now,
I
know this is gonna sound weird, but is he by any chance the same Bevis
that
actually came to the States and visited our club? I mean, it's not like
that's a common name in England, is it?

Nice modeling work. The "Broke Brick Mountain" is something I've not
seen before with it's large back drop, and it looks good. I like the
Operations challenge at Lynneton Yard, tho' I would have removed the
packing
foam from the switcher. ;-) Also, I would have tried to keep the
equipment
to the same era. The boxcars without roofwalks do not really go with cars
that have roofwalks as it was a pretty fast turnover in the early 1970's.
And I think ice reefers were long gone by the time Chessie came into
being.
About the numbers on the roof...if it's for the public to try, it's
probably the best way to go. Unfortunately. Sigh. ;-)
