In addition, we will be happy to post all information that can be furnished, including event description, list of clinics/clinicians, brief clinic descriptions, lodging/accommodations and any other relevant information. Also, we would like to post photos of models from the events. If you can take photos of models during the events, please send them to the email address listed above or send them by mail to Steam Era Freight Cars, Attn: Rob Adams, PO Box 138 Wellman, IA 52356-0138. Photos of subjects that do not relate to the focus of this site (Steam Era Freight Cars) will only be used here for promotion of the same future event.
