Newsletter - November 25th, 2006

Welcome to the Whistle Stop Trains newsletter. This newsletter contains new product information and information on local activities. Just incase some of you are wondering what happened to Vol. 2 No. 39 I made a mistake last week as that was suppose to be No. 39 not No. 38. These past two weeks we have received several cars from Rapido. If you are working with HO Scale you may want to check out that company and see what they have to offer.
