Beautiful Joanne....Love the aged ,metallic feel you created. New railroad line huh? You did such a great job aging it I thought it was a pre-printed image. My Dad's a railroad buff and would love this.
The Baltimore and Ohio never looked better!

Beautifu!!! I saw this stamp set in the CHF newsletter. My first thought was, "I love it" and my second thought was, "I wish it was C&O!" (Chesapeake and Ohio) My grandpa worked on the C&O for 48 years (starting around 1915). Growing up, my grandma always had a C&O calendar hanging in the kitchen--I especially loved the ones that had the "Chessie Cat" on them. I hope CHF can add C&O to their railroad collection, but until then, can't wait to get this B&O set!!!
