Well, God knows my respect for Mike knows absolutely no bounds, but dammit, this  is what libraries are supposed  to look like!

With the exception of three all date (unsurprisingly) from the "Age of Steam,"  which goes to show you when we lost the steam locomotive, we lost more than the steam locomotive!  Wink
