tom'sB2B Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Have you guys read this book? A great read. It's amazes me what those young men were able to endure. An early veterans day thank you to all who have served. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodTractor Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I have no idea what I would do with it... but I want one of those A57 multibank tank engines. It would make for some beautiful music on a quite summer evening echoing through the valley. Most of my neighbors still like me somehow.... lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner advertised that for $100 you could see it run. I'm sure your neighbors would love that. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still rather have the A57 - it kinda fits in better around here these days. lol I mean there is a tractor, a power unit, several engines, lots of trucks, and a car all flathead mopar powered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
