When I lived in Denver, I took a friend with me to pick up a moped I bought. While there, he told the seller he needed to use the bathroom, guy tells him there's one in the basement.

Friend tells me the "bathroom" was a toilet, by itself, in the middle of the basement.

One wonders what an adult Calvin would think.

And some shots showing details. It's an interesting build.

Not really.

Cheers.

Looking at their "offishul" website and it's terrible. Ironically, quite obviously a movement hijacked by those who want all the attention and all the control.

It's clear that this Liverpool is not the same locomotive Bury built in 1830, also named Liverpool, which as legend has it was later sent to the Petersburg RR. As well, it appears this was not one of Bury's standardized designs, being considerably smaller and lighter than Bury's typical locomotives.

I'd go further. Any semi truck operated within city limits should be a cab-over.

Eliphalet S. Scripture appears to have filed the patent for the oil can on 3/15/1845.

He is better known for patenting an invention related to carousels, that is he invented the use of a crank mechanism to make the horses "gallop" up and down in 1850!

Wonder what Oliver Reed was drinking that day.

Would be interesting to know what all they have in there. Looks like a 150HP+ setup from what's visible.

We really need an 0-4-0 big boy.

wow, wow, wow what a set up!
Fuel injection... that's got a lot more power than a regular bug.
