[SEL] Rex's New Baker Monitor on Webshots/now havin' fun with the gals.....

Hi Curt

Well, I certainly came up with Norma Jean, Tillie was obvious, Douglas 
was the product of Jim's creative mind (Fairbanks model ... Douglas 
Fairbanks, Junior), Margaret was named by the Culp family, Jim's brother 
christened Miss Whiplash and Fat Bastard started life as an SEL Member's 
engine being called Bing (Crossley), but after unloading it, Jim and Tom 
decided that Fat Bastard was far more appropriate.

Well, must go.  Arnie, Jim and Tom have had a busy afternoon loading 
Tillie up ready for her first visit to the 1000 Engine rally this 
weekend, so I'd better get their dinner done ;-)
