The posting on the "Bowing 4-7-4" was fascinating. Imagine a huge fleet of these behemoths running on aviation fuel and on railroads made up entirely of left-handed curves. Their magnificence boggles the mind!<p>Best Regards,<br>Glenn Christensen<p>PS - I forgot - what's today's date?<br> christenseng@altavista.com |

Thanks for posting the item about the Budd airplane. I am pleased to know that one still exists. I presume this is the WWII Budd cargo plane, perhaps the only airplane ever to be manufactured out of steel and produced in any numbers. Of course, it was shotwelded corrugated stainless. I think there were 30 or 40 of them, looking a lot like the "flying boxcars" of the late 1940's, only smaller and even more ungainly.<p>Aarne Frobom<br>Michigan State Trust for Railway Preservation, Inc.<br> froboma@mdot.state.mi.us |

Yes it is a Conestoga and looks like a "Flying Boxcar." Only the fuselage remains of the Budd aircraft at the museum near Tucson, not much else. Most other aircraft at the museum are much more intact.<br><br> |
