Folks, this is my day! Not that I have job, at least not yet, but something unbelievable happened today. I unearthed a real treasure! In our attic, there are a few boxes, which haven´t been opened for years, even decades. Petra wanted me to look for an old book of hers, which I had never seen in those close to 27 years we are together now. So I went upstairs and started to search for the book. Well, I did not find it, but I found a red box with this inside: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/DRGWT12-A.jpg?t=1288200227" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/DRGWT12-B.jpg?t=1288200257" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> It is a Westside Model Co. HOn3 D&RGW T-12, which I bought in 1975, painted and lettered it, test ran it and put it away. It´s been in this box for 35 years and still looks reasonable. All it needs is a little cleaning and a good lube job to get it running. What a treasure - although the purist will note, that it has a wrong number! I still can´t believe it!
