Oh jeeze Paul you really know how to tempt a K27 affectionado. I'm in extreme northeastern Illinois, not a totally impossible task to get there for the first snow run, but I'd have to speed at least 10 over, which in Mich is what about 85, risking life and limb. Naw, I'm planing a trip up there after the meet at Owasso next summer. A K27 in snow is close to nirvana these days, but a K27 chugging along the rails in summer is almost as good considering that Flint was where I started life.
