I'll make one more today. They are easy to find. Just look for "MartyBernard".

Date: 04/28/17 21:59 Re: Some More of Roger Puta's Mexico Photos Author: Atlpete They're all choice Marty. For me; the "Niagras" were beauties, nicely balanced look and purportedly great steaming engines with a lot of power for their size.
