grande man

G'Morning Grande,

Carey pointed me to some of your old links on the history of Bham steel and coal minds. These are going to make some awesome weekend reads for me this weekend during slow times at work.

I can't seem to find anything on a search from anything previous to part 11. By chance can you point me in the right direction so I can start reading them from the beginning?

Thanks much,

Kenny

Hello, I see you model DRGW. So do I and my buddy. If you wish, send me your e-mail address, I'll send you a album of his layout under construction & almost completed. It is one the most outstanding Rio Grande layouts.

Grande,

Hi! I live in the Birmingham area and enjoy photography of buildings and old structures such as the ones posted in this thread of yours: http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4444

I think I have located the long buildings but I have no idea where the beehives or big round pool and cement structures are.

I think around here, but I am not sure:

I may be waaaayyy off.

Either way, I would love to get some location information for this site.

Here is a link to my photolog: http://leftbirmingham.blogspot.com/

Thank you!!
