These are the last for tonight. Blkprince, the walking the reach one is outlawed now.
The last picture shows the last old Northwest grade shovel being moved into Camp B. Grade foreman Tommy Marr and operator John Troje.

Many Happy returns of the day Ian!! The pictures taken with no door logos were taken when we were taken over by Weyco. We had a choice We could remove the M&B door decals ourselves or it would be done for us. I did it myself so nothing but the plastic decal was removed LOL.She went for 3 years without anything on the doors. The next decals she wore were Hayes Forest. They were on for 5 years then IPL for 8 years --Jan 2008 to Dec18 2015. Then back to M&B Again Happy Birthday Ian

Great seeing HD17 in her original colors and yes it does look good with the side covers on her. Take good care of her, as she is an icon.

Happy Birthday Blk Prince hope you had a good one.

RCP57,seasons greetings Reg and thanks for Bday wishes. I am wondering if HDX has been demoted to a 3 wheeler. I think he said there was a change coming. I am sure he will keep us informed.
