Okay, here's the combo today, thus far anyhow: Shades of brown print on off-white background sweater over dark, dark chocolate brown cashmere turtleneck, tobacco? brown jeans, 24K stuff (hoop earrings today), and because of temps., these in brown, natch.......call for:![]() one of my 3 favorites.........the Zeno Explorer! Man, do I ever enjoy watching that hand glide around! ![]() Am also wearing it to drive someone nutso--cannot grasp how an automatic actually works, so it's quartz all the way..........sigh. Too, I am considered weird because I have more than 2 watches, which is considered unhealthy by some......

Steamtown National Historic site is right in town here, it is a museum for steam locomotives located at the old Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR yards. My older son can tell you the names for just about every steam engine wheel arrangement there is. We have been building a model layout in the basement for a few years now loosely based on our area (5 railroads used to serve the coal mines here). He likes my Accutron RR approved (214 back set 1974) so I gave him a Citizen RR Approved quartz. You are right though, all the kids he goes to school with are into that Yugimon/Pokeyo junk, they don't know anything about trains :X Cheers, Griff Attachment: front1.jpg (Downloaded 43 times)

They love trains!

Besides Steamtown, there is one outside Philadelphia (New Hope & Ivyland), Lancaster (Strasburg RR) and my favorite, The Knox & Kane RR in Bradford (right by the home of Zippo Lighters). It used to go over the Kinzua Bridge (was the longest wooden RR bridge at one time) until it was blown apart by a storm. We were there one of the last times the train went across the bridge before it was closed due to structural issues. 2 years later it was gone. Cheers, Griff
