What a helpful web site.

Inspiring threads filled with excellent photos and ideas (thinking of train horns since reading some of yesterday's posts

Have been participating for a few weeks, mainly seeking guidance so far, hopefully some day I will know enough to help someone else.

Working on Old Smokey:

Hoping to get her ready to pull our trailer this summer.

Bonjour Aerotruk63

Now I know why the lights dim here on the west coast. It's when you plug that thing in. Takes a lot of power to keep that truck warm at night eh!. LOL

Welcome from a canadian who's as far away from Canada you can get without being in Mexico!
Got a lot of relatives in Winnipeg and Portage-la-Prairie. Where abouts are ya from?

Thanks everyone.

Mr. Mac good luck cleaning your garage. Glad to see mine isn't the only one like that. Even if mine were clean, Smokey still wouldn't fit cause there is a bench at one end

Geezer#99 Yes, I should move to the coast and forgo the snow.

TomJohnston I've a friend in Bemidji so if your Somewhere MN is near there you may see Old Smokey on one of your roads this summer.

Rav3n How about that. We are in Charleswood.
