Nice, J.O'. I would call those tin snips, for cutting sheet metal, metal roofing and flashing.

Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
Found these at a barn sale this afternoon for ten bucks.The engine,coal car,and caboose are marked,"Rock Island Line". One of the box cars is marked,"Southern Pacific Line -Pacific Fruit Express" and the other,"C.B.&Q- Burlington Route".Not sure of the era but if I had to guess I would think 1940's.
I'm not sure who made this particular set;I have a couple others that are similar but slightly larger scale.

This popped up on Twitter this morning. Imagine being the engineer behind the controls on this beauty. Unfortunately this loco probably no longer exists.

Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
Went to an American Legion function at the Cumberland Ali Ghan Shrine Club Campgrounds today, took some pictures of the narrow gauge rail road they have, powered by a Plymouth switcher. I have fond memories as a kid riding on the train there. They also have a 50 year old B&O little red caboose and some old crossing signals.

Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
Brenda and I used to go to the rail road picnics put on there yearly by B&O and Chessie with our parents when we were kids. The draw for us kids was finding crawdads in the little stream, I think it's Evitt's Creek. The draw for our dads was the beer truck. Our mothers were the DDs.
