[SEL] New Years crankup ??

[Larry Anger]

George - that Lorenz of yours is sure a sweet running machine.   - -  As far 
as the well maintained Lorenz registry produced and published by that 
infamous European traveler Arnie, well I have searched high and low and have 
determined that he has written all those many pages in invisible ink. I did 
see with my own eyes, hour upon hour of dedicated time, to climbing over, 
around, under, and through all kinds of rusty memorabilia with pen and 
notebook in hand supposedly making known to the engine collectors of the 
world the long awaited information from the Data plates of these great Czech 
engines. But Alas, is the year 2010 going to be another year where we 
wait!!!!! and wait!!!!! and wait!!!! only to be disappointed yet again??????
