Front End Friday

@RSJB18 & @Apples55 Either way I just love how you guys keep it going! LOL

Paul, it was a general observation, however, the shark nose comment did trigger the response even though that seed has been germinating for quite some time,.

1965 GTO cruising main street on The SOUTH FORK RAILROAD.

I purchased a ‘65 GTO like this new in ‘65, 4 on the floor, 3 deuces under the hood.  Hot car!!

I remember in 1965 high school in Salina , Kansas the Pontiac dealer's son showed up in a new 65 goat. Almost the whole high school stuck around when school was out to watch him spin the tires.

I didn't get my goat till 67 followed by a 69 midnight blue 442.

Great memories.

I remembered the guys from down the valley who came to town with one of these and Icould only dream about having one.    Really a big deal. Nice.

One of the really great cars of those years.

Had a 65 GTO with 3 deuces and a 4 speed. Fast car. Where did you get this car?

Here's my ends of the front kind for this find Friday!

Thanks, Mike. Hobbies should be fun, so a bit of good natured ribbing goes a long way… I think I owe Joe a witty comment. Now where did I put that case of grenades???

Well hello F.E.F. fans, I am taking a break from "hospital" duty with my wife and thought I would sneak a posting to this thread.  I selected a favorite of mine, a Konrad Dressler clockwork locomotive and a set of Heinrich Wiemer coaches that I purchased some time ago.  They date from the 1950's.

Here is the "Front End Friday" view .  By the way, somewhat unusual, this little gal came complete with key that someone had thoughtfully tied to the cab.  It works fine despite its age.

Here she is pulling her HWN coaches out of the yard and onto the main.

"And Away She goes!"  moving her train up the main line.

Best wishes to all

Don
