A nine year old El Paso model railroader, would appreciate any overage you might want to clear out, preferably in some working order. He is a junior member of our Club. PM me.

I'd be honored to sponsor a fellow young person in model railroading! By "overage," does that mean cars too? I have a few in excellent shape that I'd be willing to sell, trade, or donate to Joel's collection. 
By the way, Please refer him to TEENS for TRAINS : https://rputnick777.wixsite.com/teensfortrains
Thanks,
-RP

I will, Shark Master! Overage is anything that you have to spare that is no longer of exceeding value to your collection. He is a regular attending member of the Model Train Club.
Oh, and I waited the better part of the year after this photo was taken to see if he would continue showing up or if he was just passing through. He keeps showing up every Thursday.

I sent a box for Joel H. today. We do need to encourage the younger generation, especially those that show a real interest. Much of what I sent relates to the Santa Fe line since my grandfather worked for the Santa Fe all of his adult life so I've very fond of that line. I'm just sorry that we didn't keep the pocket calendars that we got from him for many years.
I hope the young man enjoys these and also that others will contribute.
Also thanks to Chops124 and the El Paso club for what they have done.
Cheers Bill

I will be posting photos of Joel receiving these cool items, with his Mom's permission, of course (can't be too careful these days), and posting them here. I will be going to the Club this Thursday.

Chops, would you just like me to send the items along for Joel to you? That's what I assume would be best, and I can include the trade item.

Well, Cicsos, Shark Master, and WKS, you made the little guy's dreams come true. He was thrilled, I could barely get any photos of him he was so jazzed up. Awesome pieces, to the future of model railroading. I think he might have the bug so bad that he might just pursue a rail career.

Received a fine looking box from Bethesda, Maryland on Saturday! I will be dispatching this forward to our friend Joel by Thursday. Joel turned up with a young friend Thursday last, would it be OK if they shared a bit from this latest gift?

Chops,
Sure thing. Maybe you can recruit another youngster to this great hobby of ours.
Again, thank you for taking the initiative with Joel and his friend.
