You fellers are going to learn the hard way that Bob hasn't ever stopped carrying his belly gun.  He gets testy around suppa time...

On the way back from Denver tonight there was heavy snow in the pass. For awhile I thought I might have to go hunting in the forest for our supper. 

We waited for the snow plow then followed it through. We enjoy the trip but always nice to get back home.

Bob it was nice to hear from you, Those pictures are great I always liked the contrast with the black and white photo's.
Your trip to the mile high city sounds like you may have needed the irons with all the snow.

Thanks.
So far I have bashed a 76' coach into a 55' version of this one. I just need to add the top vents.  I have some side frames that will work fine.

My next challenge is to bash a 55' version of the baggage/rpo and my Yampa Valley Mail train is ready to roll. (I keep the maximum at 55' for my 18" track) I don't have a "bashable" yet, but still looking. Any suggestions?

My plan is to paint them to match my FT A/B Rio Grande.

Hey Terry, hope you don't mind my "pirating" this thread. (you wrote the title)

Hey pd - you'll have to wrangle with my "attack Bassett Hound" Daisy first.  If you're successful I'll not write again...till I get a new stick.

Ain't it about your nap time?   

[pdlethbridge]

 Grrrrr. Just woke up from my nap, Someone kept pocking me with a stick!  I'm ready to go, albeit slow

"Poke, poke, poke...see I told you he's awake".

What side of the coffin did you roll out of this morning?

[Yampa Bob]

You're too much....of what I haven't figured out yet.

Bob, you still like the Denver public library site. It has some great pictures, doesn't it?

[Yampa Bob]

The Denver Public Library is indeed a great site. We would like to visit the library, but never seem to have the time when in Denver.

They changed the online format recently, a bit harder to find stuff but I still get some great pictures from the site.

The Otto Perry collection of train pictures is about 15000 strong.

Bob - You're right about the title, so post away.

Yampa Bob, you have always been a great help to me.  You have saved me a lot of time and trouble.  You know how to suggest something simple as an answer without making me feel like a dummy or making yourself seem like you are a know-it-all...and your answers have always been right on the money.  That's a special talent.

You have always been there for me and I thank you for it.  Keep up the good work.
