Hi folks, I am a little late today. What's worse, I don't have any "twisted worms" so I will have to move in another direction. Lee posted a great B&O boxcar so I am going move along that route with a product of the B&O / C&O merger making the "Chessie System". Here is the Lionel 8008 4-4-2 steamer from 1980. The 1980's were cool in Ohio because the Chessie System ran the "Chessie Steam Special" out of Cincinnati and I was able to take my two boys, then 9 & 11, on a real steam train, back when they still did trackside "run by's". It was an all day affair - out and back - What a show. We returned with our faces (and clothes) covered with soot except for where we had our protective eye goggles...the "racoon" look for sure, we had great fun, not too sure Mom was as impressed! (LOL)

Happy Monday everyone

Don
