Trolley Rob: Don't know why it never occured to me before, but I just thought of something you might be interested in. El Reno, one of our neighboring towns (about 20 miles from here) has Oklahoma's only trolley on rails. It was a big project a couple years ago digging up the old rails out of the streets, and replacing them with new ones. They restored an old Oklahoma City Interurban car, and powered it with a 454 on propane, so it's probably not exactly original, but it works. I remember when they first ran it and had a full load of passengers and everyone watching it it couldn't make the first corner, so they had to back up, let everyone off, and redo the curve[#oops]. Here's a link to the only pic I've come up with. www.railimages.com/gallery/gregleck/aay <br /> <br />Paul: A bit early to sprig I think, I'd wait till mid April for that. Do y'all have many windmills down there? I was just wondering if your hardware stores still stock parts for them, as ours is getting low on everything except leathers, and we might have to look for another source. No one even knows what a Dempster is except the hardware stores in small towns. <br /> <br />Noah: Nice shot on your website. Does that mean they'll have ditch lights on their steam locos? That would be an interesting pic to see. <br /> <br />Well, didn't get a whole lot of anything done today, I was on the tractor from 9:30 till about between 4:30 and 5:00 [zzz] makes you tired after awhile, but at least its not hay hauling, where my cousin and I run 12 or 14 hour days straight through. <br /> <br />See y'all later, <br />Greg
