Congratulations, PP!

PP said...: Ha! THis pic was originally in Life Magazine in the 60's or 70's. It created quite a stir in our house at the time.

LS said...: What kind of locomotive is it? Tell us more, PP!; August 9, 2007 at 7:16 AM
PP said...: I can't tell for sure but I think it is a "Pacific" type, a 4-6-2(same as the engine my Dad built). Prob. built from "Little Engines" castings. Litle Engines was the premier supplier of model locomotive parts, now the company got split into 2 different divisions and is not what it used to be. I wonder who it is?; August 9, 2007 at 8:32 AM
LS said...: Looks a lot like Humphrey Bogart to me.; August 9, 2007 at 10:33 AM

And a happy birthday to you PP!; August 9, 2007 at 10:46 AM
