Thanks for the great video again Art. Wow, these great days just keep coming. One beautiful day after another for almost two months. Steam steam steam.

I did not mean to sound touchy. I did not feel that way. I was just commenting on why the FS had those cars behind it.

Sorry about that.

LOL Dave.

I never heard them called 'thunderboxes' before. I guess that's Brit speak.

Sorry to have to put you right. These old-style passenger cars [four and six wheel versions alike] are called 'Donnerkisten' by their German passengers - 'thunderboxes' in English.

Any idea where that name came from Tac?
