Not a thing of beauty but then lard seldom is. This old car still hauling grease on my layout. Many years ago most people cooked with lard. How things have changed

Here we go with another memory. In the late 40s there was a can on the stove. Any leftover meat fat would be drained into the can. When it was full it would be sealed and shipped with coffee, clothing, etc to relatives in Germany.

@pennsyfan- Thanks for your comment Bob, I appreciate it.  For much of my career with both the Dept of the Air Force then the Dept of the Navy, I traveled much of the free world.  I just made it a habit that wherever I went to come home with "something" to do with trains.  Much of the time this was just a simple toy or a flea market find but it accumulated.  Thus my "hodge podge" collection!!
