Any more answers...........
You'll have to wait a week.
I'm off to Michigan to buy a couple of cords of Basswood.
From Wyoming (state), a weeks round trip.
Believe it or not, there's a Wyoming, Michigan, and it's home to some rather large C&O (ex PM) shops. The tie to 3' gauge?
I make 3' gauge kits at LaBelle, and the PM, originally the F&PM, had many 3' gauge constituents.
Wish I could see you guys at the Huck, but it will be a quick turnaround. Cheyenne, WY to Grayling, MI and back.
