Lamberts Point in 1968 Question29

Scrivit the Skipper: 

Dare I "open up this can of worms" again. Abe referred to the former VGN Fairbanks Morse H-16-44 #18 (now #118) as a "Baby Trainmaster". I have heard the VGN mechanical people I know say they never called them this. FM built an H-16-66 (not 2400 HP but 1600 6-axle switcher) that was sometimes called a "Baby Trainmaster" but the VGN RWY never bought any of these.......

All Ye Most Noble and Ever-Glorious Listers: 



Lo, how easy for a simpleton to put his foot in his own mouth, and to give offense through his own ignorance!   Hail and anon ! 



When we alighted from the boat at Ellis Island many moons ago, my old Pappy told me, "Son, it would be better for you to remain silent  and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth  and remove all doubt."  I should have listened to him... 



Confitior omnibus Sanctis, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo et opere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.  Ideo precor omnes Sanctos, orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum ! 



And I promise never to do it again...  !
