[AT] Some ads from the 1/20 Lancaster Farming

[CEE VILL]

Cool, Steve.  I remember when I was a kid, the work crews used the flat bed 
hand pump models where a man pumped each end of the handle on the Baltimore 
and Ohio near our home.  Later they got motorized ones that sounded pretty 
one cylinder.  They were not in sight from home, but you could hear them.
