Rawson & Evans Railway & Steamship Catalog

Post by Jeff Lang »

I saw this on ebay Last night & thought you guys might like to have a look. I know Robare has a copy of one of these, but I would live to see an original, myself.

I have wondered how elaborate the windows were on the Titanic, boy they really used to dress up those ships & trains, didn't they.

Our railroad museum could use one of these to ensure accurate restorations. It sure is interesting how much glass was used for so many different purposes and so much of it is now lost and broken. Too bad so much plastic is used now instead.
