burr.
Had some brief moments of sunshine the other day, so I ran out and took a few shots around downtown Kitchener. And froze my arse.

This engine was idling in front of the Kitchener train station, beside Krug Furniture, a factory that has been in continuous operation for 600 years, or something like that. Its hard to believe that an office furniture factory can still exist in North America with what I am sure is lots of pressure from China, but somehow they seem to hang on.
Tim Warris and Brian Ploj a long time ago….
I ran across this picture in an album the other day, and I figured since it has a train in it…..

This picture was taken with an old Kodak 110 format camera, at the CNE grounds in Toronto. I am the one on the right, to my left is Brian Ploj, as kids were were inseperable. We were both train buffs and each had our own “train set”. I recall we could never get them to run properly, so we used to just take the motors out of the engines, and push them. They always ran smooth.
Well, 25 years later, I keep the motors in the engines, but they still run better if you just push them.
If you are using any of our new “TwistTies” laser cut flexible tie strips, chances are Brian is the one who drew them.
Its as cold as it looks….
This is the back half of the train from yesterday’s picture.
