Thanks John. You certainly have some beauts here. Thanks for posting them. Tom Date: 07/25/06 22:22 Re: More SP oldies but goodies. Author: wwdrkid That photo of the SP 4411 is amusing, with the I believe 73 inch drivers falling short of reaching the streamline shroud. The later GS engines had 80 inch drivers which came right up to the shroud. Yours is a fine portrait.
