Thats the link to download the .pdf file. For those of you who don’t know Sendspace, its a free thing kinda like photobucket that lets you upload files for other people to download, except with this, it gives you a specific link to the file.

There are some fairly gruesome pics, fyi.

not that I know of.

I just thought you all would find this pretty interesting.

I’ll let this thread stay up, but I am locking it…it is not about models of trains or railroads.
