  1. GG knows what I like, thank you. Will never forget my seeing it, riding it still on my bucket list

      • BC, they also make very effective bumper bars for 4WDs and pickups, provided that people don’t have so much weight forward that it wrecks their front-end alignment.
        Too bad that Cederq is sick and laid up, as in a weeks time he’d be a star show with his shiny sparkling gaybar on his Chebby, in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
        All those poofters and lesbefriends would love it, especially when he switches the disco glitter ball on.

  2. Actually liked the Cumbres/Toltec better than Durango/Silverton. Small-town vs big city. Actually both are pieces of the older narrow gauge trackage.

  3. You’re getting pretty slack, CederQ. Where are all the titties in the train photos? I mean, a precedent was set with the nudie camping and gun pix, so when are you going to make the train photos worth looking at?

      • Well CederQ, you are not catering to my disability. I can’t see shit, and I’m likely not the only old fart needing a white cane to navigate websites.
        I took a quick vote (among the voices in my head) and we think that your Gunday contributors need to provide more images of women shooting, especially in the action shooting sports, i.e. Practical/Tactical type, Western Action, Sporting Clays, Wild Bunch & Zoot Suiters, and hunting.
        Even more so if they’re attractive wimmen, but not excluding shots of girls just having fun with guns. I’m rather incapacitated now, so can’t prowl any ranges looking for the sort of photo that I’m suggesting. Will you encourage Bustednuckles readers to contribute their own efforts?
        The commercial photographer Oleg Volk has many such images on his blog, if you hunt around it. People need only enter his name in a search engine to get links to his sites.
        My damn phone is dying (another bill), or I’d list it for the readers here.

  4. #11 the Shielded Diesel Switcher was used at the Testing of the Nuclear Ramjet Cruise Missile tests, to move it to the Test Stand, and then after the Tests were done, to the “Hot Shop” where the Reaction Core was removed. The rest of the Ramjet was pushed into a Burial Pit, Somewhere…
