Sunday Photo Fun - 2/25/24
Posted by fifedog on Sunday, February 25, 2024 9:56 AM

My 50th birthday was unremarkable. We had our house on the market, and our sights were set on our move to WV. Flash forward to a visit from my friend, Tom, to our new digs.  He knew that I had always covetted his MTH GM50 (from a set break-up), and offered it to me as part of a VERY lop-sided trade.

I'm not sure what I'll want for the big 6-Oh, but the GM50 will be hard to beat.

P. S. I'll bet your 60th birthday gift will have the word "Chesapeake" on it somewhere!

Thanks for the birthday greetings (still a couple months away...Smile, Wink & Grin).

60 is still a couple years away. Received a GP40-2 for my 40th. Not interested in a SD60, we'll see.Hmm

You could approach it another way, say 60 C&O ore cars?
