Another classic, John.....saw the Chattanooga Choo Choo race here before the fire....really cool and really sad.  I haven't done my General model yet, but want to do it like the ravaged picture shown.....members of the Andrews Raiders are buried here surrounding a monument of the train at the National Cemetary....fascinating slice of history....great work as always on your bench.
