BOB:
Great to meet you on Friday. Sorry we didn't get to spend more time
together. I spent the rest of the weekend in the hospital with a couple of
busted ribs. Those were the reason I wasn't all that lively Friday morning.

Nice Work, Bill! It'd something the old Pennsy of your era would have been
proud of!
I watch those film clips of Pennsy/Santa Fe big power on the RFD channel from
time to time, and all I can say is, WOW! You've brought it all down to size in
your basement quite well
Now, all you have to do is make a Santa Fe "Madam Queen" 2-10-4 from one of
AM's 2900-Class 4-8-4's
