Thanks for the instructions for posting images. The process is entirely too complex for my geriatric mind.
As to willing negatives or any other property, that process involves probate. Probate is nothing more than a court process whereby the estate of the deceased is looted by lawyers plus state & Federal tax collectors. Most museum collections bar access to anyone so it’s an intellectual black hole. Many years ago I asked the curator of an institution to look at an artifact. His reply: “You can’t look at it. It’s mine.” That’s an exact quote.
Times are a changing. The railroad hobby has pretty much died. When I was a kid, Cab-Forwards and McKeens were all the rage. I took a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge on Pedestrian Day May 27th 1937. There was the weekly PanAm China Clipper to Manila. There is few if anyone around who remembers any of this. The hobby interest is based on nostalgia. If no one remembers it, then it didn’t exist.
All that said, if anyone would send me an email at srlargo@yahoo.com I will reply with a couple IER j-pegs attached.
Meanwhile, my grand kids have taken up drones and I’m joining them.
