...hey,
that's a nice bit of history, Ray. Very pleasant link.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Hello Ray,
thanks a lot, so this must be from the late forties. It is a bit too "young" for my 1850 to 60 layout, but it sure is a classic.
Thanks again, and greetings,
