Hi all,

Nice! [:)]
BTW, it looks like 1:72 scale if I am not mistaken (I have Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane dioramas at 1:72)...
It says 1:72 on the box, so you're probably right...[:'(]
You used microscope - didn't you?

A foot in a half of snow makes me want to shut my face in a car door at work...so difficult in the transportation industry.
Mainly it is people not being man enough to drive on dry roads that half the snow already cleared off... [:@] Their kids have off of school, so they should have off of work too.

The tagging of railroad cars can be very interesting. It is my understanding that the taggers (vandals to the railroad and the law) like to have a place to put their "mark". The larger, the better and railcars can be quite large (nearly 90'x14' with some cars).
I hunt trains for a hobby. You may ask how you "hunt trains", well you follow their tracks! [:D] Some railfan humor there. I have seen quite a few very interesting "tagging" of railcars. Some quite humorous, and most making you scratch you head wondering what the vandal was trying to convey. The railroads, for the most part, only clean off or cover back over the critical parts of the car (Railroad ID and car details such as capacity and such) instead of the whole car as it is not economical to do so.
There is a big debate in the model railroad community as to if this aspect of railroading should be modeled as it promotes what is a crime. Many are on both sides of the debate.

Ah, welcome to my world.[:'(] But what I like is when it is storming.....no traffic.[8D] Unless some knucklehead gets stuck in front of me.

That happens here as well every year when the first snow comes. It is as if the 4WD SUV drivers think that just because they have just 4WD, they're immune to skidding off the road. To my pleasure, they're wrong [:D]

Per, you can be honest with us. You're texting this through your phone from the side of the road where you're waiting for a tow truck, aren't you?
