<p>[QUOTE="REGinAUS, post: 333495, member: 6577"]All steam is good but I am particularly interested in the logging industry and their locomotives. I like the Shay and Heisler engines but the Climax is my favourite. The locos and their crews all have lots of character, probably because of the tough conditions in which they operated. I think it's important to keep their story and the history alive. That and the fact that I just like old stuff! Like all of us here, I suspect.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW <b>Thank you all</b> for contributing info about my Dining Suite. I think it is safe to say it is 1920s Jacobean Revival, solid oak, maybe made in the UK or possibly the USA. Also the origins of the WMF lady gracing the sideboard.
