Good Afternoon all

Some fine pichers today.  For those interested in things MLW see if you can find the MLW volume in Ed Kirkland's Diesel Builders series.  Pricy as all get out if you can find it, but good.

work safe

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.
