 Mike I see you are from Morris IL. Just down the road from me in Marseilles. I tried to send you a personal message but it would not work. Your e-mail address on the forum must not be up to date.

 Do you have a layout at this time? Would like to chat, give me a PM.

 Tks,

 Kev

Nice pictures from everybody, as always!  Here is my contribution for this week:

 

#666 has drifted to a stop by the crossover in front of the Lumar Construction Company.  This Marx 666 has been converted to clockwork power for use on my layout.
