Richard is not an SPF!

In the review on the BLI P5/P5a Richard makes the mistake that a lot of non-SPFs make. The Center cab version is not a P5a it is a P5a Modified.

There were 4 variations of the P5 class:-

P5 was the 2 original Boxcab prototypes.

P5a the Production version of the Boxcabs. 

P5a Modified which is the Center can version.

P5b a Boxcab version converted with powered pony trucks to increase HP.

 

Consider yourself chastised! ????????????????????

SPF: sender policy framework

A "broken-by-design" technique for fighting spam.

Slobbering Pennsy Freak

As in: So engrossed in Pennsy RR he slobbers.  It is really freaky in a grown human.

Or;  Freaks out whenever he sees, hears, thinks anything about the Pennsy RR and starts slobbering all over everything.

Your trackage may vary.

SSPF...

Just as common on the Left Coast....A slobbering Southern Pacific Fan but more often confused with arguments related to tanning ointment protection marketing nonsense.

Recognizing an SPF got me a job

My final summer in college, I was looking for a part-time job. A local computer-builder/retailer/repair shop posted a position, and I applied for it. Being a small firm, I interviewed with the owner himself.

Following a very pleasant conversation and answering the questions he posed me to his satisfaction, I pointed up to a large Grif Teller print he had on the wall behind his desk, with several Pennsy trains on Horseshoe Curve. I asked "Maybe you can solve something for me- I can never remember whether the Pennsy's 2-10-0s were L-1s or I-1s."

It turns out that he was a Pennsy modeler working in O scale, and a self-professed SPF. This got me the job right then and there.

I worked there until an ill-advised and under-capitalized expansion forced the shop to close down two years later.
