shortliner Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The NMRA has begun the huge process of digitizing its collection of photos, drawings & documents. This will be a tremendoius resource when it is complete. It is now beginning to come on line. Go to say "Photographs" and then "Structures" and click on a thumbnail. Then slowly run your cursor over the picture to see the detail. http://archive.nmra.org/ If you want more detail you can paypal at a very reasonable charge.

Old Gringo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Jack, this looks a good point of reference that's too good to be buried on page 6. Somewhere else for me to spend time looking at rather than modelling!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Further to this Model Railroader is offering their first 75 years on DVD for $200. http://www.kalmbachstore.com/15120.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Actually that's not a bad price - I cannot understand why they need pre-orders - duplicating the discs/printwork and container wouldn't top $20.00. The costly part is already done, the research, editorial, copying, planning software etc.....those cost would remain the same whether they sold 20 copies or 2,000 copies, i.e. the costs have already been incurred (and they must be considerable).
