Good Morningt All: <br /> <br />We have now have the five days that it hasn't gone above 100 and it sure has been nice. <br /> <br />LUPO: <br />Don't worry about painting thise Intermountian trucks they are correct just not "the usual color". The railroads business is to move merchandise. (Contrary to what the UP does.) It didn't matter what it took, just get it done. In the hobby press we read that a railroad did this or that and they did 99% of the time BUT thier were times when the freight train left with a passenger loco pulling it. My dad worked as the maintence superviser for a small line in Ga. We actually saw an ACL "B" unit switching because that was the only unit that was available at that time. In Albany Ga. the C of G was always doing something out of the ordinary. <br /> <br />Tom: <br /> <br />I'm looking forward to meeting you as you and I have a lot in common. I also paint out in the front of my garage because I've got cover and no wind blowing and the air compresser is in there. Have you been to the C of G museum in Savannah? The roundhouse is nice, it's amazing how much grime is on the floor. They told me that they steam cleaned the floor and it is still black. When you chip the bricks the black stays. That must've been a very dirty place to work. OSHA would probably die of heart failure if their was a workplace that dirty now. Savannah was a major engine rebuilding facility. <br /> <br />Well i've got to get ready and go to work, but the second cup of tea comes first. <br /> <br />Have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br /> <br />Bob
