Jim Ford	General	Nice. I like the sort-of-clear-vision tender.	12/19/2016 11:13:46 AM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Great look at this brute. The drivers look too small to me.	12/19/2016 6:59:06 PM

Alan Fricker	General	Fred, for heavy duty switching and lugging ability you needed smaller drivers. Bigger drivers are great for speed but not lugging ability in many cases.	12/19/2016 8:50:42 PM

Butch Getz	General	Lovely lugging beast.	12/19/2016 9:15:00 PM
