Thanks for posting the photos. It's always interesting to see how Moscow has changed over the years, even if I am comparing a model to the real thing. How...
Thanks, Matt The UP depot was not there in August 1987 when I was in Moscow for a visit. A photo taken in 1983 shows the depot in very poor condition with a...
