East Deerfield Buggy and Jim Dufour

I got a nice e-mail shortly after the post regarding the East Deerfield, Ma caboose, at the railfan bridge location from Jim Dufour. Jim notes that the owner is a very good friend of his named Heath Molte. Heath is a retired CSX employee and also a skilled model railroader. He is Jim's DCC guy. Jim mentioned that Heath told him if there is smoke in the chimney he is home and if I am around, I should stop by. Don and I will be in the area Sunday afternoon after the RPM and maybe we will be lucky and Heath will be there. I also heard that Heath will be at next weekend's RPM so maybe we will meet then.

On the topic of Jim Dufour, not sure if you have seen the cover of the June MR. Jim's layout is featured there. Jim wrote a nice piece about the Troy Ledges for "Prototype to Model". The great looking model photo was taken by his/our friend Randy Laframboise. I think you might want to make a point to read that one...George Dutka
