The first link is to an LVT film.

In the walkthrough episode, be aware that I read the controller type
incorrectly...it's a K43 model, to handle 6-motor trains.

Two youTube videos of 4145.   Ed Lybarger is in the interior view  
walking around in a blue shirt.

I have always maintained that many of us on this list are friends.    
So rather than tell everyone separately, I'll let you all know in one  
e-mail.   I think all you know that my wife and I were separated a  
year and a half ago.   Anyone who wants details can ask but I don't  
think it is necessary to flood the list with that now.

The good news is that we have been back together for the last  
month.   morning she called her attorney and called the divorced  
proceedings.   Until I can get time to move the computer back to the  
house, I still go to the apartment once a day to pick up snail mail  
and read e-mail.    If someone needs to get me by telephone, the best  
place now is at the house  and that phone number is 717 569-1065.    
If anyone is looking for me ... look at 111 Delp Road, Lancaster, PA
17601-3905.

I have paid the rent on the apartment until the end of the lease in
September so I have a few months to clean out this dump.

In the meantime there are some health complications.   The  
cardiologist tried three weeks ago to insert a stent into one of my coronary
arteries but by the time we was able to do it, the artery in question had
become so occluded that the procedure was analogues to trying to insert a
basketball into a garden hose.  It just could not  
be done.   Day after tomorrow I have an appointment with a surgeon to  
discuss my second round of coronary artery bypass surgery!   Been  
through that before about 1996.   That's fun.   You come out of it  
feeling like they over you with a Peterbilt and then backed a train over you
to make sure they killed you before tried to wake you up again.  (But it
sure as hell beats what's in second place and if I ever want to get to
Beijing to try a scorpion for dinner, I guess I  
have to go along with the program.)    And once that is done, then we  
can worry about the pinched sciatic nerve.
