Why Would Jim and Chad Find The Jan, 1945 Issue of TRAINS Interesting?

What, I got to explain this all again! Why would Chad from Modoc County and Jim from Lassen County find the Jan. 1945 issue so important?

Jim

I don’t know. I don’t have my issue yet. I buy the mag at the local hobby shop. I havn’t had a chance to get it yet.

kiddo, if you’re able to pick this issue up at your local hobby shop, show me the way to your toy story!

got to love the personal attacts…

Chad,

It was Trains magazine’s first treatment of the Western Pacific Inside Gatway

Jim

Ahh, the inside gateway. When I first moved to Modoc in 1981 I saw the WP in Beiber a few times. Unfortunatly I never explored the inside gateway much beyond that. Now I am curious as to what the next issue has in store for me. I guess I need to make a break tomarrow and pick one up. [8D]

I have been to some hobby shops that I swear sell candy bars from 1945 so maybe a Trains mag from that year is not so impossible.
