Here is my 34 pickup.It was so rusty and rotted that I have to make a hot rod out of it. The only parts of the original I am using is the cab,hood and bed sides. And I had to patch all of those. Everything else is from another source. The photo makes it look much better than it was.

By golly Cecil, I completely forgot about that one . That shot was probably unintentionally hidden amongst my favorite pictures taken during the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway Tour

My Uncle Tommy Lorbeer's AV8. Photographed in front of my dad's house in Riverside, CA in '39 or '40. Uncle Tommy was way ahead of his time. He actually had a movie camera in 1940 that he took out to Harper Dry Lake. You hot rod guys will get a kick out of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5ENn_hxv64

The locomotive is a class H1b Hudson type locomotive built by Montreal Locomotive Works in December 1930. It is the only surviving H1b Hudson and is one of only a handful of preserved and operating Canadian Pacific Railway steam locomotives in North America. The 2816 is actually a Hudson class 4-6-4 wheel arrangement, is not streamlined, and was originally a coal-burner but during its restoration was converted to an oil burner. In the 1930's it cost the Canadian Pacific Railway $116,555 to build, and it is 91-feet long. Its gross operating weight was 657,000 lbs., and it was good for 4,700 horsepower at 55 miles per hour, and these locomotives in the 1930's consistently operated at speeds of between 80 to 100 miles per hour. My grandfather was a Hog (Engineer) with the CPR in the 1930's, and the 2800 series locomotive was his all-time favorite unit to run, and as a young boy I was mesmerized by his railway stories and there isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t reminisce about all the great times that we had tegether. “Oh” I almost forgot my avatar also has my 1934 Ford Roadster in the photo I just thought they somehow just fit together….
Just an extra treat for those that love steam a clip of Canadian Pacific steam engine 2816 at Morants Curve in the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary, Alberta and a cold morning at Lake Louise, Alberta... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFGVMKDflEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z8MIXXDPls Last edited by Steve Staysko; 01-15-2013 at 09:36 PM. |

Steve, your ’34 roadster stand proud besides old #2816….wow, does this photo hit a memory cell. Who amongst us does not love an old locomotive, we admired both the old cars and trains….I believe they sort of go together. By the way, my Grandfather worked on these builds in the Angus shops in Montreal….great memories, thanks for bringing this up, and your photo now belongs in my archives.

Mine is simply the GREEN HORNET's early form of transportation...a somewhat-modified Lincoln Zephyr. DD
