Hey Ed,
   the old locomotive sounds interesting.... there is a reservoir near where I work and every 15 years or so the old roads and bridges become exposed when the water gets low enough...it's so low just now, the REALLY old road is exposed! 
   Well, we are in for rain for the next few days....FINALLY!   It is too late do do any good this season. 
    Three cheers!, I am finally making headway on the engine rebuild on the Oliver 2655, the crank is turned, the cylinders are rebored,the clutch face is turned, i got all new pistons, and new valves.  Bearings, rings,clutch and I can't remember what else is on the way! Darn tractor won't fit in the shop, so I suspect I will be doing the last of things in the snow <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> 
   Hope all have a great fall!
