Some fine material from Pete - Nick 'n Rob! Wondering WHERE Rob IS - given he's thinking yesterday was Sunday . . . <grin>
Mine for this Ssssssssssssssunday . . . .
This is what happens when I work seven days in a row.But your right today is Sunday. Liked the picture BTW Tom. Here's one for today.
Another Via wrap job.
Had the sorry misfortune of riding behind one of those Gawd-awful Kool Aid "things" on a west bound trip from Toronto to Vancouver . . . you can have 'em, Rob! <groan>
Some light reading for the day!
Ah more from the bookmobile The Kool Aid one's weren't that bad { okay they were but money's money ) We had the luck of a Spiderman one on our trip on the Ocean last summer.Something for today.
An Essex Termial S3 at Goderich Ontario
Hmmm....Advertising `wraps` eh..? -lets see what I can find........
O.K-Here is another class 158 (lot of them about lately) this time disguised as a Cornish pasty-and not a terribly good brand either (far too heavy on the black pepper,if you are interested)-This one at Aberystwyth,departing for Shrewsbury (At lunch time if you believe it.....)
P.S-best thing about F40ph wraps-it means they are leaving the `Budds` alone.............
ttfn
Ah I see's Nick's been in. Interesting shot with interesting markings on that DMU . Yes your right , by concentrating on the F40's they have indeed left teh Budd's alone Lets see another for this evening.
Another former CN S13 that's find new life on the trillium Railway .
Two from Rob 'n one from Nick - things are lookin' better over on this lonely Thread!
Yeah, Nick - leave those Budds be!

More light reading . . .
More good reading from the boss here's today's installment from moi.
Another GMD 1 to enjoy.
An interesting, but rather unattractive beast, from Rob!
More in the reading department . . .
Nice to see more from the bookmobile.Speaking of unactractive I must say that the BAR was the only railroad to almost make BL2's look good with the original blue and grey paint job.Lets see something "fugly" for today.
The museum's track plow TP-11
Yeah, that's surely BUGLY, Rob! But acceptable if steel wheels roll on steel rails, eh
And yet another from the RR Library in the Ether!
Another good book on one of my favourite parts of your fair country as well And yes TP11 is a bit of an ugly beast,but it's an ugly beast that's soon to be reassembled and running again after a five year long frame off restoration,it's in it's final reassmbly and wiring stage,and better yet our long awaited barn four is finally about to begin construction lets see another museum shot tonight I think.
Our silenmt gate guardian locomotive 335 a nice big Baldwin Westinghouse 50 t class B
Lets see a morning shot to keep things rolling over here on a holiday weekend. BTW happy fourth to those who celebrate it
Another bit from the museum grinder W28.

One for this 4th of July in the USA!
Freedom Train book
Right then-so ugly is the name of the game today-since close ups of my teeth are inadmissable how about this little beastie:-
Looks like something built by someone that had read about steam engines but never actually seen one............or perhaps Boris on his days off..
And to take away the taste of that-here is a 4-6-0 `Bandon` tank easing through the streets of Cork
And a long extinct diesel taking a summer excursion down the Courtmacsharry branch
O.K guys-enjoy the 4th

That's a nice bunch of stuff Tom Not much left in Battle Creek now either CN closed the shops down a couple years back,not sure if any of the buildings and backshops are still there.Here's another from our Chicago trip,this is a snap I made at the side of the road in St Charles a museum of sorts that was closed but this equipment was up near the road.
