New Acquisitions

Three new acquisitions showed up on the Paducah Switching railroad today. All three came from the Kansas City Northwestern layout of the late Dick Wegner.

Dick was an outstanding modeler and this boxcar will fit well on the P&LE.

This 45-tonner came complete with a decoder. I envision it switching the scrap yard and coal dock.

We all miss Dick, but I am pleased he will always be a part of the Paducah Switching layout.
Dick was a devout fan of the Santa Fe and a member of that famed railroad's historical society. He was a regular attendee of the society's annual meetings, regardless of location.
