    Model A train

    I saw that show. It was done at the Trolly Museum in Perris, CA, about 20 miles from my house. It’s a neat place. Many restored trolleys and steam locomotives. We took our grandchildren there when they had a special program with Thomas The Tank Engine. David Serrano

    It finally happened- A.I. to troubleshoot Ford Model A problems

    Synchro, I completely agree. It’s all the result of a lack of ethics on the part of the billionaire oligarchs that are in charge of the tech companies. The pursuit of maximum profits ultimately leads to the pursuit of political power here in the US. If I say anything more, I’ll probably be...

    It finally happened- A.I. to troubleshoot Ford Model A problems

    I think AI is only at the stage of “learning” in the sense that it is exceptional at gathering information. I don’t think it is at the stage of analyzing that data. There are a lot of YouTube channels that are using AI to make historical videos. For example, there are a lot of videos about WW2...

    Who Is The Artist?

    Re: Who Is The Artist In addition, if it does not have a copyright bug, i.e., the c inside the circle and a date, it is probably in the public domain. In any case, the proper thing to do is to give credit to the artist. As mentioned by The Master Cylinder, it’s ok as long as you don’t sell...

    Sears/Allstate carburetor

    Regarding Engine Color(s): my 1930 Roadster came with a light green colored engine. It seems to be too light to be the result of the aging of the dark Ford Green. Does anyone know if some early engine rebuilder might have used a lighter colored green to differentiate their engines from...

    Sears/Allstate carburetor

    I thought so too. Transitioning from the catalog to the internet should have been easy for Sears. They were still viable in the early 2000’s. They were obviously asleep when technology came in. David Serrano
