Reply to "Garden and railway complete re-hash"

Those engines are great, Davy!  And to think, you did all those of the railroad I grew up 1/4 mile from!  I grew up seeing a parade of freight trains pulled by F-units out of Pittsburgh.  My maternal grandfather was a fireman on the B&O for several years before he reenlisted with the US Marine Corps and fought in France in World War I.  He was disabled in the war, tried to go back to work in 1926, but couldn't do it and was given a disability from the B&O.  My grandmother received retirement checks from them clean up into the Chessie System years when she passed on in 1978.
