<p>Good Morning Gang!</p> <p>The weather guessers were wrong - the storm did not die down in the early morning hours, we are right in the midst of it. In terms of mph, it is not as bad as the last one, but there is a continuous blow of about 90 mph. Damage reports in the radio are now a mile long., mainly empty trucks on the Autobahn getting toppled. I am just glad that we don´t face power outages or risk getting hit by billboards flying around.</p> <p>Zoe, coffee and a bowl of muesli, please.</p> <p>Curt - prayers continue for your wife on her way of recovery.</p> <p>Lee - that sounds, well, awkward is an understatement, isn´t it.</p> <p>Jeff - the car is a model of a Royal Bavarian State Railway coach of the late 1800´s, which was used on secondary lines. It saw service well into the 1950´s and early 1960´s. Due to its short wheelbase, it must have been an experience to ride in them, being seated on wooden seats. There is no direct prototype for the loco, though. The Royal Prussian Railway Administration had a similar looking 0-4-0, but that one was never couple up with a tender. The East German Deutsche Reichsbahn couple a tender to a 0-6-0 Tank loco to increase the service range. The beast looked like this:</p> <p><img src="http://www.tippner-home.de/tipparchiv00.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Ken - I hope a better job will materialize soon for you. It sucks if you have to do a job which is not in line with your own ethics.</p> <p>Well, CUL & stay safe!</p>
