Good Morning - Interesting New Haven item.  They also had an album-format book with nice color shots promoting travel to different sites in New England.  This was produced when Patrick B. was in charge.

Wow it's been a while since I was last here as well , I amazed to see this thread still kicking. though I do hope our master spinner of words that popped by does test drive the tavern as it were. Hopefully I am back on a more predictable coarse now ( time and job will tell )here's a new / old poster for you.

enjoy  Rob

G'day!

Well, well a visit from a guy with a great story! Nice one Aricat - don't know much about you as your profile is rather sparse, but Lars 'n I like the way you put together a story! Yeah!! [yeah] Unfortunately, the reality of this thread is that the interaction is far 'n few between. Thumbs Down [tdn]

If you're interested in discussions about Classic Trains amongst guys who've amassed all sorts of experiences traveling on the rails, you're invited to join us at my bar called "Our" Place. You'll find us on the Classic Trains Forums (General Discussions) - just "click" - check out Page One - then go to the last one 'n join us!! Thumbs Up [tup] I do "warn you," it's infectious, lotsa fun, and a great way to pass the time! IF that is, you are one who enjoys the interaction amongst adults in that kind of setting . . .

 Lars, here's my "shroud" for the day!

Ahoy Cap'n Tom!

 

I see we've had a visitor with a SUPER FINE offering for this lonely thread! Nice work from our "anon" friend.

I invite you to stop by "Our" Place, a cyber bar 'n grill on this forum if you enjoy "talk" like you've provided us. You'll get far more response 'n reaction there than here.

Anyway, really enjoyed your post, ARICAT!!

 

Here's a little something from my favorite fallen flag's RR - the NYC!

 

New York Central's J3 Hudson with streamlined casing designed by Henry Dreyfuss.

 

 

 

Until the next time! Thumbs Up [tup]
