"Henry Ford has chosen to change" - they have?

I agree that Strasburg has great programs. I'm all for programs and events that bring in a new crowd. But Strasburg isn't changing the entire focus of their organization to appeal to a different market. That's my complaint about MSI in Chicago.

The Running gear also came to the B&O. It is currently being set up in the North Car Shop.

Mitch - As you can read from the above, this demonstration of the running gear off of C&EI 4-4-2 #222 from MSI was being set up in the North Car Shop. Did you happen to get a photo? Thanks, and thanks for the photo of the York.
