Lee, very nice.  At first I thought Brockway but on second look I believe I see a Mack badge on the front.

Johan, excellent work on the Shark Bay as usual.  Your skills are top notch.

Patrick, thanks for your daily vignettes.  Modelling, photography and story telling all rolled up into one visit.

Don McErlean, I like your cool trolley, it’s colorful, and wonder who made it? Also, stay safe at school, and thank you for teaching, it’s not an easy job, but what you do helps our youth prepare for their future, which ensures our future. Trumptrain, cool picture, if that is Clark Kent, we know Superman’s near. Sidehack, great black and white photo, neat scene with the coaling station and beautiful steamer...Wow.
