Thank you, everyone, who came by our tables and rang 470's bell, then stuffed a buck or two, or three, or...yes - $100, in the collection bottle!

Thank you to everyone who purchased our tee-shirt! We are re-ordering more of the larger sizes, so check them out on our website.

I want to especially thank you folks who whom we've exchanged thoughts on RYPN, and came by to make eye contact and shake hands. The enthusiasm from coast to coast for restoring Maine Central 470 is astounding. Your ideas, tips for successfully rebuilding a locomotive, hints at fund raisers, and just plain telling us about how your father worked on that locomotive and wished it hadn't fallen into decay, has reinforced working to completion.

Come visit us at "Touch A Train", in conjunction with the Maine Eastern in Rockland, and Owls Head Museum, on April 12th.

Richard, I've got to ask, but what did the bottle total end up being?
