Neat pics. I love Greenfield Villiage. We're members and get there many times over the summer and always ride the old Forney.

I wish I had a whistle like that for the basement.:D
When the old (young) lady starts yelling whatever, I could just let off a blast of the whistle.:rolleyes:

Some odd pieces parading down the road in your video.:rolleyes::thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing.

I agree on the whistle, but I'd use it, on anybody who has the nerve to invade my little pike world like Godzilla, or a trigger-happy UFO!!!:mad: In other news... I'd really love to have depot hacks, like that for the hotel in one of my towns. But automobiles are exuberently expensive. Can anybody help the poor model train guys out???:(

That whistle is awesome. I love going to the car show days. Because of all the people and the fact that it was getting dark, they really let it blow (they do it all day too). It's a lot of fun. I was on the last run of the Torch Lake for the day and the last run of the Edison (which by that time it was pretty dark out and the fireman was using a head lamp (flashlight with an elastic strap around his head) to watch out for animals and people when we were going through the woods and they really let the whistle blow back there.
