    Strange days indeed. Northern Arizona is a long way from Rockwell Maine, but that hasn't stopped this tourist from passing thru town.

    That happened when Jim FitzGerald (of NTRAK Fame) and I had a tug of war between his Cotton Brute and my Tungsten Trogladite Locomotive. By the way, not only did I loose, the caboose did too.

    Paul:

    Regardless of what Russ says...

    It is just an imagineered steel caboose. I have seen pictures of wooden drover cabooses, but not the steel ones. L&H Packing Company is a real company here in San Antonio; I used to do taxes for them. They were closely held and had a most complex structure. A very big company and well known if you make your own sausage. [​IMG]

    It was designed to go around a 9 3/4 radius............


    That is feet, not inches. :D :D :D

    Pete- I like your humor.
    Than again a teacher once told me...
    "Tour humor is so dry it could make a camel thirsty..."

    Yeah, when I first joined Trainboard I thought you were one in the same. I almost made a fool of myself by posting some weird coment but refrained. It was a close one. [​IMG] [​IMG]
