Yes it was Morrison Knudsen!

Drive a ship?
Drive a plane?
Drive a train?

I dislike that term "drive" a train. Only in the UK does one drive a train.
So I corrected the press release.

Good show - and he did say "drive" the locomotive.  Was this the company that was Morrison-Knudsen at one time?

  Mike Rowe, the hardest working man in showbiz, has worked over 200 jobs since DIRTY JOBS launched in 2005 on Discovery Channel. But it's not a lack of commitment that has brought Mike to so many different jobs in such a short time it's his strong belief that it's exactly the dirtiest of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us. Let's face it -- where would we be without the garbage picker-uppers, the concrete chippers, the hot tar roofers and yes, even the chick sexers?

For Mike's 200th job, featured on Tuesday, February 17 from 9-10 PM ET/PT, he travels to Boise, Idaho to build and restore locomotives. There, his apprenticeship starts in the fabrication building, where he cuts raw steel into parts using a plasma burn saw. Next, he uses a forklift to break away any leftover soot residue from the burn saw by flipping the catch plate end-over-end in the parking lot. Meanwhile, in the engine refurbishing shop, Mike helps takes apart a locomotive engine and scrapes away old sludge from the inside. The old engine is then spun and cleaned in an acid bath while Mike visits the finishing area, where he shows off the locomotives getting their final touchups. It's an amazing 200th job, as Mike gets to end his day driving operating a newly completed locomotive.

They are Bachmann's.

Try your public library.

I pass....
since I really never provided the correct info.

use a 0-5-0...

Hint....

Only 10 engines were built and delivered in the end of 1942 - beginning of 1943, so the total number of the new BDZ class 03 remained 12 engines.

If you read the warning notice in a California parking garage, you risk getting cancer if you park in there.

Lots are OK.

It gives the lawyers in tort law busy.

Hi, Does anyone know if you can get a tour of the philly plant?

The plant is in China, just on the other side of Hong Kong.
Most plant don't give tours. Too many trade secrets out in the open.

what i meant when i said shelf was to use the flange as something to hold pictures. not for a acctuall train layout shelf but just hooked up to the walls to hold pictures

Nope, still to heavy to spike into the wall just to rest a picture on it. Maybe a section of rail from a live steam operation be better.

Ah
The French have to be different

A pacific (4-6-2) is a 2-3-1 under the French system.

(check my ISP to guess where I'm at)

From the time I signed my DD form 1966 (enlistment contract) to my final DD form 214 (discharge certificate) 21 years later, I was among the best people America has to offer (I turned down alot of people when I was recruiting).

I got to railfan alot all over the world and looked for local hobby shops along the way. I never had a real layout as I had to pack every three years and move on. Yet I always look forward to joining another model railroad club at my new assignment.

So today I honor my fellow members of the uniform side of the Department of Defense, DHS's US Coast Guard, the uniformed medical people of the Public Health Service, and Commerce Department NOAA fleet.

Thanks to all
Canada - It's your Remembrance Day too!

Plug doors (in railfan terms) provides a smooth surface inside the car. Inside, the door is flush with the inside wall.

Yes









In railfan terms, an Evans box car looks like this.

Note the double plug doors.
