True tales from the Broake & Howe Railroad

[Old 97]

Say detective Mike,

I just realized that this situation totally epitemizes the name of your Railroad!

Broake and Howe - RR name.

Broake and Howe - Out of cash.

Broake and Howe - Something Broake & Howe?

That's pretty much it David. The railroad runs between the towns of Broake and Howe on my layout with many mishaps, shenanigans and hijinks while operating on a shoestring budget! Just like my signature says.

Well in other news, I wandered over to the field across from the B&H shops and it appears somebody has a ball diamond set up. Home plate and bases are made of old flour sacks and roofing shingles. I even found a rag tag bat with a huge crack in it.............
