Bill Sheppard map of Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroads

Hi All:

Anybody know where I can find one of these?

It's a map by Bill (William) Sheppard, and it shows the railroads in the entire Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys
as of the 1920's.

It's a big map - like 12 feet long and used to sell for $15 or so? Kicking myself for never buying one back in the day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Frank

Somewhere on the web there used to be a site with a form with about a dozen cool old things like that which Bill Sheppard had available, and you printed it out and checked the boxes for what you wanted and sent him a check with the form - I got the exact map you are talking about that way (which is really super) and one or two other things a few years ago . But I have no idea where that site was anymore. I see his name still though - he is active on some forum I look at - probably on the ErieLack forum - you could look through archive posts there for his email...

I don't know if he actually made the map (since it looks like it was done back in the day - i.e. 1930 or thereabouts) or somehow just came to have a lot of them for sale (originals or reproductions)
EDIT: here is a "souped-up" version (fancy color) that was in Trains Magazine a few years ago - it just came up with Google:

It's a nice link, but not as nice as rolling out that big map on the floor (too long for the dining room table).

Thanks for that - I'm trying my luck on the EL list. Appreciate the assist!

Frank, I found this buried on my old PC (I ordered 3 years ago about). Note his email is at the end. I would check first to make sure the address and prices are the same... Good luck, JS

I have that map scanned into PDF format, but it will not let me upload it because its too large. I also exported it to JPG but it is also too large to attach.

There is a service called Dropbox that provides data storage, with the first two Gigs for free. Their business model is that folks will like it so much they will pay for more storage. once subscribed, put the file if not over 2GB in the public folder and copy and paste the link here. The acoustic music jam group I belong to uses it, works great.

See [url][https://www.dropbox.com/url]

I use Filesanywhere, so here is a link to the PDF file, the link will automatically expire in 10 days.
