Psst!! SD...

I've a Juniata Shops replica ID plate casting of K.4.S. I use as a "hottle" in front of the toaster oven down here and a New York Central one on the stove... cast from originals, with aluminum. A pal of my Dad made 'em from "recycled" beer cans. :cool:

And I ~remember~ my Gran'fa'r walking me down to the tracks to see a steam locomotive pass by. This was on the bank of the Beaver River, just north of the PA Turnpike in the early '50's.

EDIT: I was really young. It created some amazing nightmares! :shocked::eeek:
