Gee I was hoping for a MANSFIELD STATE COLLEGE train,  but the college sold us out.   All the GIZ that played from the 1880 til now have been sold out.  They have scraped football at the school. 

Not only was it the first nite game in college fotball history but it was the place I went to school and played my four years.  I had a great time there and made many friends. There is alot of blood, swear and tears left there from this man.  The injuries I have taken on that field would make your head spin, but thats some other time.  But all of a sudden they pulled the rug out from under us and BAM just like that NO FOOTBALL.  What kind of a college has No  foootball!  We have had a GOLF tornament to raise funds, and other things like having alumni giving money for scholarships funds and they take it away just like that.  What a bunch of CRAP.  If I sound BITTER, its because I am.  There was NO notice or anything to alumni.  Go figure? 

I done complaining but still am P*****!!!!!

The 1:13.7 loco (page 1 of this post) may look a bit loco or silly, but its design is based on numerous critters that are crawling around the fact of the globe, e.g.,

Australia cane critter



Taiwan critter with corrugated roof

Have been wanting to get started on adding some additional rowhouses to the left of teh blue house:

Started by drawing the outline and window cutouts on a piece of illustration board:

Cut out the outline and winows and doors:

Scored the folds for the sides:

Pop in a few windows and we're ready to add the clap board siding:

I'm going to do two identical ones in different color schemes to have a string of three with narrow alleys between them.

Life started out as an RS-3 Lionel Construction train

 

Then was repainted as Santa Fe (upper track)

 

 

Then kitbashed it to a 7/8n18 critter that runs on 2 AA batteries and can go forward, neutral and reverse via dpdt switch in the cab. Added lights but wire broken when took this photo. still need to add link and pin couplers.
