Take a look at these babies.

And here is another one at a very nice park close to where I live on the west coast of Florida. I have taken rides on these a few times and it was great fun with a beautiful view of the park.
That was cool. But, all those guys eating beans? Good thing they are outside.

There is an old retired guy who has these in his yard (talking a 1/2 acre plot, not some big spread), was really cool, his wife had a fantastic garden, and he had his trains
. There is a group that meets down my way in Union county someplace, looks kind of cool.
And the music, well, you can't beat that, good ole Elmer Bernstein was a genius (that is the main theme from the magnificent 7)
That does look like a good time. (And good food!).
Hey RICKC, the beans are in case the PROPANE runs low!
Fantastic, thanks for posting it.
There is a group by me that uses part of MoPac's original right of way west of St. Louis along the Meramac River. They provide public rides every Sunday through the warmer months.
Wow! Brings back memories. Back in the early 70's there was a farm in Roseland/Livingston NJ called "Becker's Farm". Old man Becker had a narrow gauge train running around his farm. At the time I was fresh out of college and worked on the farm during the week and on weekends rode the steam train - the public loved riding around the farm and seeing the sights. The farm and train are gone now - don't know what happened to the steam engine - someone contacted me a few years ago and found out I worked there and asked if I knew the whereabouts of the engine - he was writing a book about it - I'd love to know where the engine is now!
