I see what you mean.

Global Warming (used to be called Summer) seems to be early this year.

Also, according to the book The Many Faces of the K-4 the generator and headlight switched places in the postwar period for ease of servicing the generator.

The need the lube oil topped off and it was easier to do in a location reached from the pilot beam.

This comes from the local B&O foamer! :shock:

I think I could do some of those exercises if I had those girls to inspire me.

But those model cars and trucks cost more than I usually pay for train stuff.

They would be great if I played with them instead of trains.

Did you notice the language choices at conradmodelle.de?

Home | Deutsch | English | Français | Impressum

I thought I had discovered a new language. (The last new language that I discovered was Simplifed Chinese, but that is another story.) I got fooled, Impressum is not a new language. It means "imprint" in German. If you click on Impressum the page that shows up is a German languare page of information about conradmodelle, such as; Address, Telephone, E-mail, Web Registration number, Disclaimer of responsibility for external links and Copyright Notice.

One of those big wheeled cranes showed up at work a couple of years ago (1:1 scale.) I'll see if I can post a photo of it tomorrow.

Jon, both those videos were amazing.
I can't wait to show the redhead the first one, of that path up the gorge. Her palms start to sweat just looking at a photo from a high place. I'm not sure I could do that walk either.
That crane video was excellent. My hospital has a 9-story new building in progress, and they're currently doing the ironwork. They're using a crane that is easily 12 storys tall, (which is one of those smaller ones in that video). I can't go past that thing without gaping in amazement. And it was delivered exactly as in that video, in pieces, on flatbeds.
I guess it's the 'boy' in me. We don't see things like that very often around this part of the state.
That guy in the video has quite the collection. I wonder the $-value of all those toys. :shock:

He must be SWK.

When they assembled this one it took an entourage of trucks and one tending crane.
