Jerry and Tom,

Thanks for the comic relief.

IT was my older brothers, before it was mine. It has been in the family since 1948, when my dad bought it new.

Thanks, Jerry and Tom

Tom, That's one nice looking Turbine...certainly a lot nicer looking than mine will ever look. Mine's still got quite a ways to go.

Very Good Ben [tup], and some people thought that it was dead.[:-^]

I have the 671, from 1948, so it never got in bad shape.

looks great now ben!

A couple of quick updates on my 681.

I spent most of my time this week doing cosemetic work. The pictures below are the result of a lot of scrubbing with soap and water, and a lot of 3-in-one oil. I filled the chips in the tender with Epoxy, and used an Expo to temporarily touch up the paint.





And two photos from last week for comparison



I currently have a new pickup assembly ordered, as well as new brushes and cotter pins for the handrails. Once I get these parts and get the E-unit back together, I'll be finished.

That's very good Jerry [tup]

Speaking of Spanky...




My brother wanted to see Spanky, but we didn't know you lived Cleaveland. But this will have to do.

[spankybird]

No Jerry, That would be the good looking one.

My Lion Master CSX Dash 80 crossing Lionel Bridge across Roger's Corners Creek on tacky MTH Realtrax that doesn't conduct electricity except on my layout since 2001.


Wolverine Willie a graduate of that school in Ann Arbor, Michigan spends countless hours beneath the Lionel Bridge watching the big engines roll. He sometimes is seen skinny dipping in Roger's Corners Creek.



Although the railroad people are very prompt in returning the pigs found on railroad right of way, Farmer Buckeye Bob is not going to be too happy to see what the construction crew did to his pig.

Tim couldn't tell which one was Buckeye and which one was Chief,

Here is a pic of me and Buckeye together.



Now you can tell which one is Buckeye.
