These Were Little trains built from 1954 to 1971 and were used in parks and botanical gardens. It pulled three cars which had space for 90 passengers. Its not a accident that the design of the locomotive looks like a cross between the legendary TEE train and the Porsche 356. This locomotive was powered by a VW industrial engine and was the prototype of the VW-Porsche trains. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707430658.jpg |

The Old Wellington Inn dates back to the 16th century, making it one of the oldest buildings in Manchester. It started its life in 1552 and has served various purposes throughout its history, including being a dwelling before becoming a public house. The building is a remarkable example of Tudor architecture and has been a central part of Manchester's social and cultural life for centuries. Sinclair's Oyster Bar, originally known as Sinclair's Oyster Rooms, was established in the 18th century. It has a long history as a popular oyster bar and pub, attracting patrons for over two centuries. Sinclair's is notable for its longevity and has been a fixture in Manchester's dining and drinking scene. In 1971, both buildings underwent significant renovations when they were underpinned and raised to align with the new street level. This was a complex engineering feat aimed at preserving these historic structures amidst urban development. As part of the redevelopment of Manchester city center, particularly after the 1996 IRA bombing that caused widespread damage, both the Old Wellington Inn and Sinclair's Oyster Rooms were physically relocated to their current location in Shambles Square in 1999. This move was part of a broader effort to preserve Manchester's historical heritage while modernizing the city. The creation of Shambles Square was a key component of the city's regeneration plans, providing a new home for these historic pubs in a prominent and accessible location. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707487672.jpg Carroll Shelby, having received a chassis from AC and a 260ci engine from Ford, put them together at Dean Moon’s speed shop Moon Eyes in Santa Fe Springs, CA He drove the first Shelby Cobra on the streets of Los Angeles February 2nd, 1962.

Lots of dirt roads back then. "The nearly 80-foot-wide, ridged concrete bowl was about 16 inches at its deepest point in the center. Customers paid 25 cents to an attendant who strapped a protective rubber cover over the radiator. Patrons would then enter the bowl via a ramp and drive their cars around and around the bowl at a speed of about 10 miles per hour. The ridges in the concrete would vibrate the car and the water, creating a sloshing action that helped wash away all the mud from the chassis and wheels. The process took about three or four minutes. The car would then exit the bowl where patrons who wanted a complete car wash could enter one of the bays where the rest of the car would be cleaned. On a busy Saturday, about 75 cars per hour would go for a spin in the wash bowl."- |

The gentleman on horseback at the far left is believed to be Al Jennings, the attorney turned wanna-be outlaw turned convicted felon turned western legend (in his own mind) turned Hollywood movie star. Don’t know the name Jack Garvey? He was, among many other things, proprietor of the infamous (or, is it notorious) Cabinet Saloon on Main (north side of 800 block, the east end of Not Necessarily New today) in Woodward. He became something of a celebrity in the 1890s. While visiting Wellington, Kansas in 1898, he gave an interview to the local paper. The only thing the interviewer wanted to know about was the Cabinet Saloon, which by that time had become a tourist draw for people visiting Woodward. There were supposedly the blood stains of several men on the floor. The walls were riddled with some sixty holes from shots fired inside the place. And, of course, some of those holes and blood could be attributed to the gunfight between the Jennings Brothers on one side and Temple Houston and Jack Love on the other. Let's do the math...four six-shot revolvers firing that's 24 rounds minus the two that ended up in each of the Jennings brothers, that accounts for 22 of the 60 holes (see why you read these?). The Woodward News of February 7, 1896, published a short story about Jack Garvey and an elixir made by a German. Not sure if the elixir was intended for himself or his customers. **** A German has invented an elixir which when applied to the skin makes it bullet proof. Jack Garvey at the Cabinet has ordered several bottles of it. That was followed by another short paragraph in the News two weeks later (Feb. 21, 1896). Jack Garvey has received that bullet proof elixir ordered a few weeks ago. He says it is nothing more than perfumed soda water. **** Visit the Plains Indians & Pioneers Museum in Woodward where the crack research staff is hard at work perfecting an elixir that will do something, anything. It’s the only thing we could think to do with the plethora (plethora, we’re tellin’ you!) of jugs filled with non-alcoholic sandbur-flavored cider that are still sitting around here. Can’t drink it, might as well rub some on the skin. Excuse me…the FDA is calling. We are elixir-, regulation-, and admission-free. |
