Elmo supplied, “When I was switching my Kenworth from tube type to ten hole Alcoa aluminum tubeless wheels in the mid-eighties it’s where I bought them. If I remember correctly they were $208 when you bought two. I bought two every paycheck ’til the entire truck had tubeless wheels and later had them polished as I could afford it.” 
Elmo’s Log Truck, “This was taken in ’83, my first year running it, when it still had tube type wheels. I was very proud of the fact that I paid cash for the truck and never borrowed a dime while I ran it. That would be impossible to do today.”

Picture above and the four below are the Cannonball 457. Sent in by a long time reader James of Iowa. The above pic is the un-restored engine and the ones below are of the restored engine saved by a group of enthusiastic train buffs in the town he lives in. Nice that is still fire-able and covered! A nice job, thank you James for sending them in.
