Re: Additonal info re "Narrow Gauge ... Then & Now"

I spoke with briefly with Nils on one of the #315 trips last September.   He still
has several copies of this great book available - about ¼ a garage full, IIRC ...

My 2010 "Narrow Gauge Memories" calendar lists Nils' contact info on the back as
2254 Lawson Ave.
West Vancouver, B.C.
Canada V7V 2E4
Tel: 604/926-3473

Near Dalton:
