It’s hard to believe, but this week Spanky’s Cove has a Diesel come thru town. You know, I do own only a few of these.

It was pulling Coil Cars. Being a design engineer in the metal forming industry, this is something I see all the time. Coils of steel range in Cold rolled or Hot rolled steel, 0.020” to 0.50” thick, up to 72.0” wide and up to 40,000 lbs. each. One coil would fill a truck max weight, therefore, many times they are ship by rail.













And here is the engine (MTH PH40)

Tom, I sent him email with instructions. Probably can not explain it as good as you do. Hope he got it.

That is pretty good. Hey, where did you get all those posts? Thought I was right behind you. You must have been fighting with Neil too much. [:D] [private joke]

No, I have been a good boy and staying away from that stuff. I have been following Big Boy and posting a little on the other forums here.

CNW, first one was fine. I like the larger size. Then I can click on it and enlarge it too. Good picture.

Thanks very much - I consider this high praise from Chief and Chris. I hope to move out some more stuff off the crawlspace and add more 4x8 foam boards.
