The good old days....with picture goodness.

Here's a farm site I visit regularly. This thread has stretched out to 658 or 659 pages. It has pictures of farm life, tractors, cars, airplanes, radio's.....you name it. I've enjoyed looking at the old pictures and it finally dawned on me that some of you might enjoy them also. So click on the link below and work yourself backwards through the pages if you're so inclined.

Man, John, sir, that's great, a thread three years running, and still active.

Lots and lots of high-quality photographs; I especially like the ones of the Model T Fords of the 1920s.

Old farm machinery, old household appliances, whatnot.

It seems to have some really dedicated members.

What a great archive of yesteryear.
Many of the photos remind me of a coffee table book about the workshops of the 1900's-1920's  locomotive repair shops. Many of the pictures in that book delt with the sheer size of the tools required to work on the huge steam engines. Just imagine the wrench required to remove the nut holding a 6 or 8 ft diameter drive wheel on that needed 6-7 workers to pull on it.

There has recently been some discussion of saving that thread to  CD's... I might buy one myself if they do.

They are train/locomotive picture sprinkled all through that thread. It not only has pictures of US farmers/equipment but a few pictures from all over the world, downunder, New Zealand, Europe, England....

Lotta family and manufacturing history in that thread.
