You`ll never find a Philly cheese steak on a menu in Philadelphia. It`s called a cheesesteak and we all know where it`s from...

Funny story:

When I bought this I was at a show and doing my best to leave without buying anything (to demonstrate my self control to my wife, lol).

And then I got to @EL3632 's table of temptations.

So instead, my "look how well I can behave" story became "I only bought the ONE".

I'm still kinda miffed at myself, lol.

Here's my take on one of those GP38ACs. Time (and kids) have not been kind to her unfortunately...

Another fun fact: that model was one of my inspirations for doing this one! It implanted in my brain... lets just say a few years ago.

Thanks. I really like the way it muted the blue replacement horn and made it match the real thing much better. I loved the story that tells, but I hated the sharp contrast. Now... it works!

I was working on a post and saw this photo of @Cory Rothlisberger 's geep in my media library.

Like I said, it was definitely an inspiration for my version.

I remember that show (don't remember running trains though...)! I must have started going after it's heyday though. Most of my memories were of empty aisles and constantly being asked by salesmen who had no idea why they were there, if I needed gutters or a new roof...

Hahahahahah.

Do you remember the guy with the giant tanks with the shotguns in the barrels? Or the Hooters girls walking around?

What a time.
