Yes, copy another part of the country. Wink [;)]  If they do home, all they can show is a big rock with some old sailing ship crashed into it. Laugh [(-D]  In fact that is why the Pilgrams stayed there.  They landed ON Plymouth Rock.  They really wanted to sail south to DIXIE.  Shock [:O]

BTW: I looked at my spelling and the cough syrup must not have worn off when I typed. Shock [:O]

Perry- Your layout is very scenic & detailed. I see that Laz's 800 lb Bear visited your layout. Boy, he sure gets around the Country easily. Take Care.

Superb, Perry!  Simply superb!  Fantastic detail, making each scene an eye-catching--and eye holding--vignette.  I just wish I had 1/1,000 of that level of talent.

Because of the topic's title, I passed by this thread several times, figuring it was some lame off-topic thread.  How wrong I was!  Nobody should pass by this thread!

Perry,

I never tire of seeing your layout. I especially like what you did under the table. Wood instead of skirting really adds to the southwestern charm.

Avoid "yours truly" when he compares the inadequacies of his current layout to yours. Thanks for sharing. Have a great holiday!

Perry, I never tire of seeing photos of your layout. Having been to Arizona, I'm blown away with how well you have captured the colors and the terrain. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! Smile [:)]

Perry,

Going to have to second Frank here, really stunning. I love how you show how O tubular can be made to look awesome in a hi-rail setting. Tubular for me as well.

Never go boating where bears go fishing.

 

 

 

Never sit too close to the railroad tracks with your friends.

 

 

 

Never park your bike too close to the railroad tracks.

 

 

 

Keep a warm fire burning in the fireplace.

 

 

 

Never stand on top of a train as it approaches a tunnel.

 

 

 

Never row in a class 3 river and forget your paddles.

 

 

 

Never drink moonshine and lose your better judgement.

 

 

 

Never leave your stove and fireplace unattended.

 

 

 

Never get caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

 

 

Never go boating alone.

 

 

 

Never stand directly in front of a train when taking pictures of it.

 

 

 

Try to keep your sky blue and sunny.

 

 

 

Enjoy the hobby Perry
