| Thanks for finding that, micro. Looks like I got a good deal...I paid 10 bucks. Actually, I was thinking of taking the RI logo off since I run mostly Santa Fe, but it looks so good there I just left it.

You have a Walthers Corner Stone model 933-2831 of the Pella, Iowa brick station. The list price was $64.98 for this rather popular model which has been out of stock for some time. I am familar with the Pella station, a national landmark, because my Madame Queen sells Heritage Lace, made by a company headquartered in Pella... It's a nice one! Congrats, your lucky to have found such a pristine example for $10.00...

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

| Interesting that it's in Iowa. My first thought when I saw it was that it resembled the RI station (now a museum) in Council Bluffs.
