Well I think the engine died on Monday on my way to Fremont it quit running normally I can restart it, this time it won't start and makes a clanking noise when I did finally get it to go. But I got it for 250 a year and a half or so ago so I think I got my money out of it, and a local auto dismantler will give me $1,500 for it

Hey
I'm looking for the cost of materials only for those that can do it themselves, the photo is me putting new oil in one of our locomotives at the Golden gate railroad Museum. In the photo you see four 55 gallon drums take 10 gallons out of one the rest goes in the locomotive, that comes out to 210 gallons at $1,500 a drum

For the Lost in space fans that's a quote the robot said in this case it means what is going to happen to these four vehicles I picked up from our local Pick-n-Pull Thursday. Stay tuned for part two it'll show what happened to them Saturday and Sunday, after they had a encounter with a 55-ton tank

is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of a very close friend and member
Morris Lyons

I went by his mobile home in Stockton on my way back today just to say hi, I knew something was wrong right away there were no vehicles in the driveway. A neighbor was leaving and told me that he passed away a month ago of a heart attack someone found him in his mobile home. I first met Morris probably about 30 years ago through another friend who passed away in '06 the year I came home from Iraq. I meant that person through my brother I'm going to Miss Morris very deeply for those who don't know he was also a member and very active at the Golden State model railroad in point Richmond he was a member of PLA and GGRM.
