Russia was a great country that may be again, I have no doubt they invented some stuff. The invented in Russia thing was an old joke here - The Americans announce an invention, the Japanese miniaturize it, and the Russians claim to have invented it 10 years ago
I love the old locomotives Rob. How many machines have most of their moving parts on the outside?
Btw I just saw 'The Devils Brigade', a good war movie about TOTL Canadian troops having to work with American misfits. Enjoyable!
