Here’s what you need for that prize winning Post Office model you are building this year,

"In some areas, life has moved on more dramatically. Take one of Hamel’s favorite murals, Locomotive Repair Operation by Harold Lechman in the Renovo, Pennsylvania, post office—near where the photographer grew up—which shows six men working in the Pennsylvania Railroad repair shops that are now no longer there.

So, how’d I do on creating a clickbait-ish topic title?

Just for you information, when the U.S. post office issued the a 33 cent train stamps which were 5 stamps with different train engines on them, I purchased a packet from the post office. Can’t remember the price, or year, and around $40 I think, it had several of the 5 different stamps in all different configurations, blocks of stamps, and 5 large posters, one for each stamp, plus other stuff. I have never framed the prints and still have the packet in tact, but do have a block of 20 stamps framed and hanging in my train room. This was not to take away from the murals in the post offices, but just something you could get and put on your walls if you can find them.
