1: The car cleanout track at Roseville in November
1962, showing a freshly unblocked drain at left dis-
charging meltwater, and body ice being pulled out
of cars (this was ice that had been placed within the

door. The men are repacking a journal. The cars are

to HO in this column). I'll discuss the major classes, along with
opportunities to model some of the non-major PFE classes.
