    Hi,

    I don't know why, but I got into the Chesapeake and Ohio. Maybe it's Chessie, or maybe it's the fact the Walthers is releasing the GW in HO Scale early next year, beats me. So, seeing as I'm reserving some cars (primarily the Diner-Dorm and some skirted coaches and sleepers), I want to accurately model the train. So, any books or documentaries I can readily get?

    You may want to contact or join the C&O Historical Society [ http://cohs.org/ ]. They offer some really fine publications that might help. The Society's collection at Clifton Forge, VA includes the dining car Gadsby's Tavern, built in 1922 and modernized for the 1932 George.
