West Bay Model Railroad Association Network
Large RR Magazine Collection
My father passed away in May in Palo Alto and he was a serious rail fan. He left 1,000 pounds of magazines (boxes and boxes and boxes) stretching back to 1980. I would like to donate the magazines to a worthy organization or partner with someone willing to sell the magazines online.
Magazine titles include: Narrow Gage and Short Line Gazette, Short and Narrow Rails, CTC Board, Pacific Rail News, Model Railroading, Mainline Modeler, Model Railroading, Modeltec, Live Steam, Garden Railways, The Streamliner, Prototype Modeler, Locomotive and Railway Preservation, Railpace newsmagazine, The Train Sheet by Feather River Rail Society, Extra 2200 The Locomotive Newsmagazine
The magazines are in good condition and were stored in a climate controlled room.
Any advice or recommendations?

I assume the meeting is at 8PM at 1090 Merrill Street tomorrow night, right?

Hello Steve,
People will likely begin working at the club round 7pm and will break for a meeting round 8:30, so 8pm is probably a good time to visit. Are you stopping by to visit the club or were you hoping to sell some of your items? I ask because it will likely be a busy evening and if you're hoping for everyone to take a look at your models and books tonight may not be the best time to do so. Please feel free to stop by, regardless, but know that people will be distracted with the benchwork construction tasks going on at the club.
If you do plan to visit this evening please let me know, as there's a chance I may need to work late and may not attend, so I'd like to let one of the other members know to expect you. Regards,
Mark D.
