Good evening folks yep seems like we are keeping this ole bird alive oh well not a big deal. Yep Tom the GG1 at the HCRY would certainly frighten the birds ( not to mention the hydro metre )Here's today's tidbit from me.

Another of the musuem's cars while still in service Oshawa Street Railway 82. A long term restoration goal at the museum at the moment.

A yes a GG1 now why would Tom have picked that locomotiveBig Smile [:D]Whistling [:-^]Actaully we have a member at the museum that's more in love with the GG1 than would be concidered healthy.He's always jokingly said that he wants to bring one to the musuem and restore it to working order. Tom you've been there can you even fathom that beast wondering our meger mainlineShock [:O] great photo though sir and a fine steam locomotive from da larsman as well Thumbs Up [tup]
