The DB is a blast to model.

Reply Edit fischey Member sinceJuly 2003 From: Ski Donner Pass! 51 posts Posted by fischey on Friday, August 22, 2003 11:50 PM It would be the CS&SB. The South Shore was not appreciated by me until 30 years after my first ride. We used to call it the Vomit Comet because on blinding winter storm days, if a car hadn'nt been cleaned well and the heat was on, well, it just wasn't very nice. So why a fave? Because going by the shops in Mich City and seeing the Joe there, Because it wasn't diesel, because it had funky and really cool old cars (when the weather was good), Because it was Americana, and because there ain't much like these kinds of roads left in the country and when they are all gone you will have really missed something.
