The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

have a wonderful long weekend :wave:

First a photo of my carded Turbines. The two in the center are white painted interiors.

Something of note on these early painted interior cars is that the bump out under the cars in the bubble is absent.

Also the paint on these early cars is far superior to the later examples.

Next is a group shot of my painted interior cars on the left. Two mirror cars on the upper right.(gold and lavender) The group of three on the bottom right are painted in an enamel. The puke green and the black are what I believe to be employee painted cars. The blue was a factory job.

Here's a shot of the gold mirror!

And this painted interior car also has the rare silver painted turbine under the dome.

And finally a group shot of my unpainted interior cars in, I believe, every color except silver and brown.
