    A Look back at the Colorado Midland RR

    It's been of historical interest to me too. Tried to backpack up the west side to the top once--fifty miles north and then east from Independence Pass--but the trek fizzled for two of the four of us. Never have been up the east side, although it'd certainly be worth a trip. I didn't know any...

    What is this 70s Tyco?

    It's actually a FT A unit. Four portholes per side.

    Trains.com

    I also agree where RMC magazine is concerned, and for the first time in my life I am considering subscribing to one. There's nothing like print in hand--I can read 'em and look at all the pretty pictures in the bathtub. Can't do that with (a desktop) PC. Can't make toast in there either. Not...

    If I didn't know better, I'd almost wonder if the handrails atop the cab didn't make this...doodlebug?...a "London bus style 'double-decker?'" Except I actually don't know better, so I'm asking. WAS it an actual double-decker? For passengers?

    What are you buying this Month?

    That really is spectacular. Right down to the cast driver and wheel centers, fitted with (very slightly) wider tyres. There is that clear break if you know what to look for. Counterweights too, but on the opposite side four spokes with threee slightly deeper flanges than around the rest...

    What are you buying this Month?

    Auto parts, and a few auto repair tools. Anti-freeze. Blech. :-C And one golf club iron head, so I can make a decision about which set to build for myself. It'll be my last cutting edge set, as with the last great bump-skis I bought about eight years back (before I destroyed my left...

    Worldwide Pixel Shortage Looming

    At the risk of wasting a few of the already mined pixels, I'll just say "brilliant." ;D Therefore I formally declare: "You won the internet for April first." I will point out we do have a backup/emergency substitute. Glitter. Sometimes described as the "Herpes of Arts and Crafts." Once...

    And I'm thinkin'..."Et tu, Batman? Et tu?" Well no, of course not! The Dynamic Duo are on the right side...and on the right side of justice too...<cough>.... Louie the Lilac gets his comuppance. And thus: All is set right with the world again. Works for me. :D

    Running Bear's March 2024 Coffee Shop

    So...early morning, and I sometimes do...while sipping tea...watch "Batman." The '66 series, with Adam West--the spoof/sendup comedy series version. Julie Newmar (Rowrr!) and Lee Meriwether before her (also Rowrr!)...and we have the villain "Louie the Lilac." Well respected comedian Milton...
