I wouldn't mind doing a nice batch of the Amazon Label Verification HITs but they're a pain in the ass. Slow to load, and they don't always go through when I submit them.

This is the puzzle out in my building:


Sadly the real L&N 770 isn't looking so great these days. It's at a museum about 10 miles down the road from me. This photo is almost 9 years old but it hasn't gotten any better. The inside is also gutted, there's no prime mover or anything inside (what you need to make the engine move):

That's a shame. We have a railway museum close by and it's one of my favorite places to take the kids. I'm surprised it's not housed in a shed?

that's the one I'm most in the mood to do right now! I'm just worried because it doesn't have any reviews. But the majority of that company's puzzles have good reviews, so I think I'm going to take the chance on it.

it's so pretty

Besides last night, this may be the least I've earned on mturk in an hour in a long time. It's looking like $5.50 after this survey is completed.

oh my gosh if you live near new haven you're most likely within a 30 minute drive from me, maybe less
I'm confused, didn't you just say you were in Kentucky?

eta I don't know why that came up twice

That's a shame. We have a railway museum close by and it's one of my favorite places to take the kids. I'm surprised it's not housed in a shed?
The museum has a small shed on their property, it houses L&N 152, the only operational L&N steam locomotive left (there are two other L&N steam survivors, both in Kentucky, but neither are operational and 152 has actually been down for scheduled rebuild for the last 7 years), and one or two other items. They have a large canopy/cover over a spur track where stuff sits underneath it, but there's no walls so items are still exposed to the elements, kinda annoys me because some of the items they have, they've let deteriorate to a rough condition. An old wooden passenger car that the L&N restored back in the 1960s to tour with the famous "General" steam engine is underneath that shed, halfway covered in tarps because the elements have gotten to it. That bothers me. The 770 could've gone to another museum down in Bowling Green,KY to be used on a static passenger train display but the museum that owns it wouldn't let it go, so the other museum bought another unit elsewhere and repainted it. It looks a lot better.
