Those are fabulous. I wish I'd had those to play on.

Our playground had a huge steam locomotive with it's fuel car hitched to it. You could work all the levers and all the gages were pretty much intact. Lots of ladders. We loved playing on it.

Grew up, went to high school, JC came back to the playground and it had been completely lawyered up.

There were soft, low slides and sloped ladders and the locomotive was wrapped with orange temporary fencing and had keep-out signs all over it.

End-of-an-era.
