New Haven Railroad old 4400 series copper clad wooden coach W-162 used in Wire Train service is seen in a yard area, ca late 1950's. These 1905 era built wood car were rebuilt in earlier days with a steel underframe, plus they received copper sheathing. A good portion of these cars were once used in commuter service as standard coaches, but some also were used as smoker coaches.

They appear to be enjoying themselves.
Little Cub scout Billy, on the left edge of the frame, appears to be enjoying it even more!
What must the Struthiomimus be thinking?
Hemmings Motor News published this paean to the 1964 Dodge Custom 880:
Chances are, back then, you had no concept of what 90-odd cubic feet of storage space actually meant to an owner. While your sister sat on the sprawling bench seat behind your parents, you lounged contentedly in the third row, watching the world disappear over the horizon while counting the number of oncoming cars. Separating you from the family–until you got to the campsite at the lake–were four sleeping bags, a neatly folded tent, a small stack of luggage, mini barbecue grill and other assorted outdoor gear. With the high-tech world of cell phones, handheld video games and portable DVD players decades into the future, you kept yourself busy mile after seemingly endless mile with creative thinking.
ust about everyone has some memory of a particular station wagon: fond or otherwise. Your cousin might have used one to go on a fishing trip out in the country. Dad used it to haul lumber for a new back deck. Mom used it to bring the baseball team to the ice cream parlor after the game. Your older brother even drove it to pick up his date on prom night. It was a car with a million uses.
No matter the manufacturer, wagons began with a simplistic design: car chassis, seating for six and ample cargo space. In a series of one-upmanship, design deviations and a litany of convenience options peppered its long history. For instance, if you didn’t want four doors, you could try two. A third row of collapsible seating offered passengers a different traveling perspective. Some were clad in Di-Noc, that lovely faux wood paneling that kept the “Squire” badge in sales brochures well into the Nineties. Cargo space was increased by means of a Vista roof. And if that wasn’t enough, an all-out sales war resulted in the three-way tailgate versus the clamshell. It was a select few, however, that offered hardtop styling.
The pillarless look was a unique and short-lived idea born in the mid-Fifties; some might find it hard to imagine that Dodge used it first with the Polara, then with its new-for-1962 880 series. Our feature car, owned by Bisbee, Arizona, resident Pat Kennedy, is an unrestored, bona fide original 1964 Custom 880.
Lack of a B-pillar provides the illusion of easier access, although the hardtop design also enhances the cavernous feel of the interior. Unless you plan on adjusting the climate controls while in a panic stop, the two-tier dash is easily readable and reachable.
As other manufacturers had discovered, the pillarless station wagon was never a big seller. In fact, during the three years that the design lived on in Dodge’s 880 series, no more than 3,500 combined six- and nine-passenger examples were produced in a single sub-series during a single model year. But just how the 880, and its wagons, came to fruition is a worthwhile story in and of itself.
In the early days of the Sixties, rumors abounded of Chevrolet downsizing its entire fleet. As a result, Chrysler Corporation’s frenzied rush to keep up with the competition meant that everything in the Dodge camp was redesigned into a substantially smaller package. In a strange twist of fate, the poor-selling De Soto was nixed early in the 1961 model run, which effectively left the mid-price full-size car market wide open for the competition to absorb.

I really loved knitting this cowl. The pattern is simple and fun, plus it goes great with the yarn!
I finally got one of those PT Cruiser chrome-clad skins that are popular in Europe. That one is kind of damaged, and I doubt it will have the value here that it does over there. The PT is not a very popular car here anymore.
The big rear simulator is a very heavy American-made one...I thought it might sell, but the shipping cost won't be cheap. All 5 Ford vans are broken of course, but at least 2 of them look fixable.
The '66 Plymouth was an unexpected find that was visible from the road and didn't look like it had been there for too long. It does have a curb crunch on the center area though. I may swap the plastic insert over to the other one I found a year or so ago. I think that one was better, but missing the center.
The front and rear truck caps are both Mack branded and like new. I'm not sure what model of Mack truck those are coming on...I haven't been able to find a photo with that exact type. Because they have the MACK lettering molded in, they're probably not aftermarket.
The row of unis on the top right are all in new condition. One of the Mitsu Mirages in the first pic was also a fake, but I slipped it in there :-)
Temporary barriers set up around building work in progress in the city on King William Street, Adelaide.

Next month marks the third anniversary of our SL marriage and it is nearing four years since I met her. I continue to be thoroughly mesmerized by her and it is beyond obvious that while I hold the key that locks the collar around her beautiful neck (with an iron-clad fist), she holds the master key to my heart. She is my never-ending dessert, a prize I keep on winning.
Together Sorrow and I are clad in Phedora, lots and lots of Phedora. We are both big fans of Phedora shoes, clothes, and accessories. Especially their heels and boots.
Everything from their group gifts, freebies, and vendor items, Phedora is one of our top go-to makers of things to wear in SL. So much so that probably the majority of both Sorrow and my personal outfits have at least one Phedora item in it, whether if it's their shoes, or simply some jewelry accessory.
Another thing is their awesome group gifts, a couple of the featured shoes and a dress above are from their group gifts & in-store lucky boards, but they offer a lot more group gifts than the few I shown, plus another perk to group members is sometimes they hold group chat giveaways from time to time. So well worth joining the group if you aren't in it yet and love Phedora too.
Anyways, sorry this photo took a while to upload, meant to finish it by Friday, but I had gotten distracted over the entire weekend as I had recently acquired some new land within SL, so I spent the past couple of days setting it up a bit, and also distracted with school work, as finals week for the semester is fast approaching (next week), so it probably won't be until after finals are over that I can get around to updating Flickr with new photos.
