I'm still not too good with this computer so please bear with me. I'm posting some of the things I'll be selling at the convention in Scranton.The first attachment (0003) is fotos of a series of paintings my late wife made for me working from fotos I took in the Wyoming & Lackawanna valley areas n the early 60s. When she asked me what I wanted for Christmas or B/day I'd give her a foto & she'd work from it.
They are;(for those who love the Lehigh Valley) 1. Last run of the Black Diamond at Wilkes-Barre station; 2. Pittston Station & surroundings viewed from the tracks just south of the station (all the buildings here are gone now); 3. Jersey Central - Wilkes-Barre station showing doubletrack in front; 4. Woodengraving of Lehigh Valley streamlined 4-6-2 used on the Black Diamond. Brass plate is lettered "BLACK DIAMOND Presented to Walter Smith" This is about 16" x 22". I have another such woodcut showing the Black Diamond Limited in the Lehigh Gorge and it is in a larger (antique) frame & this is also "presented to Walter Smith".....even tho I worked for the competition. Both were done by my uncle who worked for the LVRR as most of my mothers family in West Pittston did.
Finally, I had my wife work from a Christmas card called THE LACKAWANNA ROLLS EAST showing a DL&W Hudson type running up the Roaring Brook creek valley with a passenger train.It's from a Xms card by Howard Fogg
As far as file 0002, things are 1. ELRR cold chisel; 2. Automatic brake handle & reverser from engine 1278 3. Automatic brake handle from E-8 #816. Running it one day, it had 2 brakehandles so I kept one & took it when I went to Auto-Train. When the 621 was purchased from the EL, I used it on that engine for years. We were both EL refugees.
Anybody interested in anything here feel free to email me with an offer & I'll reserve it for u.
See u in Scranton.


Regards,
Walter E. Smith - employee#102156
