On the subject of locomotives, I used to actually ride this one as a kid (it was our way of getting to and from town since we didn't have a car in the place where we spent our summers). Anyone recognize it?



The "storage barn" for the engine was at the end of our road so sometimes me and some other young kids would sneak in there when they'd "put it away for the night" just to check it out. I LOVED this train! Nothing like riding along with the smell of coal in the air and the thundering sound of the locomotive chugging away. Something probably very few people have ever gotten to experience in their lives. I'm grateful to have had the chance. Trains are awesome.

Here's a couple more to see if anyone can place it:

Pennsylvania, on the Wanemaker, Kempton, and Southern. They ran a 2-6-2 "Prairie" until '67 or so. It later wound up with the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH. I think it's still around somewhere.

I really like the look of the FJ, but for now I will keep and mod my 4Runner.
