Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Thanks, John. That's what I figured . How did all that work? I see there is a cab on the top side and wondered if the plow has any way to move itself or does all the power come from the engine behind it and was there a crew that rode in the plow ? I see it's built very close to the track to keep snow from building up under it, I assume , . All very interesting when you don't live where it snows!

That's a cool looking stump. Looks like a dead and decayed guy slumped over a pile of sticks.

All highly interesting photos. What tremendous character the older cars had. That yellow pedal car is a trip! Something very special about light houses. I have friends who collect models of everyone they can. I have only visited a couple myself.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Two years ago I had the privilege to visit the Owls Head Transportation Museum, located in Owls Head, ME. (See here for a sampling of the collection there http://owlshead.org/collections/category). By far the finest and most extensive collection of automobiles, bicycles, vintage airplanes and motorcycles I have seen anywhere! While we were there looking at a 1933 Packard convertible on display, one of the museum guides made the observation that people didn't realize at the time that they were driving works of art.Quick Steel wrote: What tremendous character the older cars had.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
ken & jmh, Thanks so much for sharing those wonderful photos with us. Interesting that bicycle design was established by 1898. Many of the bikes look very similar to contemporary bikes.
