..just a follow-up on an earlier post. I was going through some printed photos....the kind before digital came along.....and found these of that diner up near Solvang.  Note that it shows the colors before the hippies got hold of it ;).
Ah ha... I thought so. Now that's how I remember it.

just this wonderfull Indian Railcar!
Cool picture Lloyd, though it breaks my heart to see the Indian stripped for this purpose, it is still a clever idea. It doesn't look like they put too much effort into adapting it for mounting on the handcart.

The shorpy pictures of the day are from Poughkeepsie, NY;   
the station 1890's http://www.shorpy.com/node/10189
and the RR bridge 1905 http://www.shorpy.com/node/10190

Make sure you enlarge the photos to see the details.   Some great modeling references here.

Great modelling food.
Those cross brace pieces on the truss bridge look really flimsy.
Wonder how strong the bridge really was?
Thanks for posting

Hi all,
I was deep in the Valley yesterday when I ran across this rig at a gas station and just had to snap a picture.
I mean, I was born and raised a "Redneck" but this is truly humbling.

What a rig, and it ran!

Just a little something I ran across this morning.  It's listed in the Farm Implement News Annual of 1914, the New Samson wagon and carriage jack made by Oliver Manufacturing Co. of Chicago, Ill.
