Morning folks another wet and cold one here Thumbs Down [tdn] I see that the bookmobiles been in always nice to see. Lars that SW is letteerd for a car parts plant CAND is the acronym for them ( sorry can't think of the name off hand ) they are a Magna owned plant though adn have liekly cycled through 50 owners by now. The locomotive belongs to OSR but is leased to the plant, it's an ex CP Rail unit. So for todays selection.

PS Lars maybe you should forget about teh wheel and go directly to the black jack tablesPirate [oX)]

enjoy  Rob

Evening gents. Yup the barflies will get the vacation shots on some of the upcomming saturday's as well. lars I have to say that the dome looked good but we were not able to partake of it's pleasures, that story to will come up at the bar eventually , suffice to say our Ocean trip was not as memorable as it should have been. Long story short we got sold a hill of beans by teh station agent in Brantfiord where we bought our tickets ( next long train trip we will book through the central ticketting office )We didn't get a sleeper ticket so weer not allowed to enter the "better" relms of the train ie the dinners or the Dome car.

Loved the book and poster pics for today gents Thumbs Up [tup] here's my contribution to the "lonely" thread.
