Before with head home, we run by the Cumberland shops... CSX is in the process of breaking up the Mother / Slug sets and selling off the Slugs. These two haven't yet showed up as sold.... yet!

Thank You for stopping by and having a look.

^ What Bob said. ^   Although I guess I could live without the dumpster.
That POV has great potential. (Translation: You should work it more often!)

It's obvious from this series that it pays to know the territory. Job well done, Tim.
And thank you for sharing your work.
