Jon, great shot of you and the chopper. Do you have any others?

Anyone still drink beer in this Jungle?

Tramp, I've got plenty of "old scooter day" photographs, it's just trying to find time to scan and upload them!! The same goes for the beer drinking question, the wife and boy have me running overtime!!!! I'm on # 10 just for the record, though!!! :wink:

Jon, funny how they keep discovering these engines. Must be a very dark, as in NO lights, warehouse. Eh?

The most current to date 3rd Rail N-1 auctioned on Ebay only got a high bid of $490.00.

That one needs a memory to go with it. Something like "I gave her my best kiss and she gave it back again..."

Sigh.

Jon, I remember AMF Harley-Davidson well. Bought a brand new Super-glide 1200 in 1975, $3483.00 out the door, taxes, title, and destination charge. Broke a valve spring in the first 150 miles, then the electronic relays failed, then the brakes failed,(recall). People that build bowling lanes and balls should not have been building motorcycles. For some reason, the damn things still sell for 2 & 1/5 times what they sold for new.

Jon, more shots! Where was the above one taken? I hope you sold the bowling ball Harley. Amazing how the company turned itself around after that. We should've all bought that stock.

That's right ..........On A Misson................ :wink:

I'd like to thank PRRK4s (Gary) over at the PRTHS for sending me the picture of the 6875. I went over there and asked if there was any way of hookin' up with someone that might have a photo or photo's of the PRR 6875. Wouldn't ya know someone responsed. ...............Amazing.................. :o :o :o

Also, this engine ran on the PRR Mainline (Harrisburg to Philadelphia Line) which pases thru where I live now. The picture was takin in Throndale, Pa just west of Phila. on July 12, 1936. The Tender on the back was 110P75.
