Quite how Leeds' Middleton Railway got coal to the Isle of Sodor for use on the Skarloey Railway, or how a wooden bodied coal wagon stayed in use until the 1980s I don't know, but both happened...

OO9 just for fun, N gauge version will end up running to Warmington On Sea with my Dad's Army wagons.

I do remember going to see this movie in the 8th grade for a field trip. Strange to go watch a movie in school, but enjoyed it.

I wrote an old-school braggadocio-style rap for my beloved a few years back: both serious and silly... and incorporated a bit of Bajan phrasing to personalize it.

Now that I've discovered my new favorite toy...  

Speaking of Kalapana. I think this is the only one with no lyrics. I remember seeing the 8-track tape in my cousin's car.

And one of the most iconic (in Hawaii). I think everybody of my era knows this song by heart. Many slow dances and probably babies came out of this.

Yeah - I hate it when you get sticky moments round the back

You guys have great memory. I can only remember a few. The one that sticks out is Shannon by Henry Gross. Then it's Bread, ELO, Doobie Brothers, Kansas for the most part. The rest would be Hawaiian stuff like Kalapana, Cecilio and Kapono, Olomana.

And then the disco phase, then Journey rolled through.
