call first. By the way, there was a nasty train wreck in east rochester a couple of weeks ago. all cleaned up now and it happened a block away from despatch junction, our favorite train store.
Hi, I'm an old Rhodesia Railways Driver (retired in South Africa).  What I noticed was the spelling of despatch.  American English was to a small degree made simpler more than 100 years ago and the word became dispatch.  In South African English I would despatch a parcel to my mother and dispatch a chicken for supper.  But, because everybody now has MS Word on their computers and because this comes equipped with the American dictionary, many words here are constantly mispelled.  Your models are beautiful.  Your problems are just like those of a BIG railway.  Cheers.
