    N Scale . Alco PA-1/PB-1 N 1951, a diminutive man in Tokyo sat down to build a model of an PRECISION RAILROAD MODELS IAmerican railroad locomotive. Using plans of the actual locomotive he had received after writing the Santa Fe Railroad, the end result of his efforts was a remarkably accurate and highly detailed model of ALCO PA-l. More than 40 years later, that "diminutive man in Tokyo" is looked upon as a giant in the model railroading industry. He is Yuji Kato, founder of KATO Precision Railroad Models. From his own personal passion for making models, he has built his company into one of the most respected names in the business. In honor of Mr. Kato, KATO Precision Railroad Models will release the N scale ALCO PA-l and PB-l in May/June (expected) to hobby dealers around the world. These new models will be produced with the same high level of passion of authenticity and commitment to detail that Mr. Kato gave his first handcrafted version. And while bearing the precision craftsmanship of the past, these models will also look to the future with the capacity for easy installation of after-market DCC decoder by the modeler. These models will be produced in seven popular road names, plus an undecorated A+B two-unit set. Depending on the road, these models will be delivered from the factory as an individually packaged A-unit and a two-unit set (A-unit + A-unit or A-unit + B-unit). There will be three versions of the A-unit body shell, accurately replicating the numberboards and headlight arrangement of the actual prototypes.

  • Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church
    Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church May 2016 New Bishop Elected – The Rev. Jim Hobby Following a five month discernment journey after Archbishop Duncan's retirement announcement at Diocesan Convention in November, the Rev. James Hobby was elected by a majority of deputies at a Special Convention of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh to serve as the next bishop of Pittsburgh. The election is subject to confirmation by the College of Bishops meeting in June 20-23, 2016. The Rev. James Hobby is currently serving as the rector of Trinity Anglican Church in Thomasville, GA. "The Standing Committee would like to honor Archbishop Duncan, and we look forward to celebrating his ministry among us," said the Rev. Paul Cooper, Standing Committee President. "God provided the leadership that Pittsburgh needed in the person of Robert Duncan, and we expect an unprecedented outpouring of gratitude and thanksgiving in the months ahead." The journey to get this point involved a decentralized discernment and nominating process where the Diocesan Standing Committee opened the doors for communication, prayer and discernment among the districts. Diocesan districts met and produced nominees for election, held over the weekend (April 22-23, 2016) at St. Stephen's Church, Sewickley. A slate of eight Nominees who were willing to stand for election to be the Next Bishop of Pittsburgh were announced on March 7, 2016. Three Nominees asked to be withdrawn from consideration, leaving five Nominees who were set to appear on the ballot at the Special Convention. >>> "The Standing Committee is grateful for the prayerful manner and approach the diocese took to bring us to the election of our next bishop," said Cooper.
