there is a 2 foot gauge 4 ton vulcan out by you somewhere in a guys garage. john (jjk54) knows where it is. dont think its for sale, but it was used by a semi anthracite mine out that way so thats cool!

yep, that's him.

i've said this a bunch of times---we need to take a trip up there!

we could go check out adam's places and stop up there, all in one day.

well, i'm sure we'll be talking about this again next february, but let me know if you want to go sometime before then.

not sure about any of the photo hosting sites, i use our website server. i know banks and mike piersa have uploaded some pics to some of those photo sharing sites maybe they can steer you in the right direction. as soon as the weather breaks we will make a trip out your way, was looking at the map. its no longer for us to go there than to the southern anthracite field!

naw, i mean i host mine through the ugm site server. youll need to sign up for one of those photo sharing deals. it would be cool if we could have some kind of server here to upload pics to. maybe greg can look into that......... how did this topic go from michael jackson to the semi anthracite field? at any rate its a good change!
