John - you're very welcome. It's great to be back in Alaska after 7 years in Italy. You could say there's a bit of culture shock but we're adjusting. The moose was in the yard, the Northern Lights were out and we've had plenty of snow, it's not all bad but it's certainly not Tuscany
I did locate another MOG here, burgandy and black, I haven't met the gentleman but we conversed, he has several 2CV's and other oddities. My MOG ran well from the shipping yard home - 80MPH cruising nicely but hasn't been out much since. It's hibernating until spring when work will continue sorting out the dual webers.
Like many TMer's I appreciate steam and found a project that is not only rewarding but educational and a great bunch to work with. We volunteer up to 4 days a week and the goal is 2 years and she'll be running excursions.

I stay up with TM observing from afar
and extend a welcome to any TMer to come visit the great state of Alaska, I can put you up in style
(Alaskan)
