Somewhere I've got a Lionel Archeological gondola from a couple years ago full of dino eggs - I think the animal conspiracy spread to Arnold! I've also got the 2nd car, which was a boxcar with a bobbing dino head! If I can get my camera fixed (still won't access from computer) I'll shoot you some pics, man.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
The beast is hiding his eggs, and we all underestimated how long it will take for the poison to take it's toll on the mega-ton creature. Many Many Many Many eggs will remain undetected forever, and surely hatch a new generation of fierce Gasping Desert creatures.
With his last gasping breath, T-Rex defends even those few eggs near the tracks...the ones that will surely be destroyed when found.
I love the T-Rex bit.

Nice work!!!

The Maw of the Beast - Final Chapter - I promise!!
Legendary men such as Judd Kodder, Sam Pike, and Gutts Madder, who once roamed Castle Canyon, have all since perished at the hands of their fate. Castle Canyon residents, who were once strong like the sturdy oak, are now frail like the fawn to the grizzly's jab. But worse than the grizzly, is T-Rex, born of the Gasping Desert and predator of all.
His has been a reign of terror, dominance, and fear. But with assistance from model railroaders around the world, T-Rex's doom is set in motion. The hardy breeds of model railroaders have brought forth enough imagination, weapons, and strategy to finally slay the beast.
Ideas of traps and fences in box canyons, to center-rail electrocution have all been detailed at the Shady Tree Saloon. Property values have already begun to rise in Castle Canyon while scenic railroad operations are returning to normal. The antics of T-Rex are ending and we can all return to the true meaning of HIGH RAIL TRAINS.
Last photos and captions...
Sherriff Husky Budds lures T-Rex to the center-rail and simultaneously thrusts two poison-tip spears into him. Center-rail voltage burns the beast while multiple spear wounds bleed. Husky Budds and his pet skunk watch from a vantage point on Mescalero Pass.
The beast is in peril. The mighty grizzly returns to roam his native land!
From a distance, the roar of the beast is fading!
T-Rex has taken his last step and collapses into the history of Castle Canyon forever.

What are the property values in that valley like? First there was an alien attack and invasion, now the T-rex has been back 2 times?
I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to buy a house in that valley...
(But seriously, great job as always, I love reading these random "war of the worlds" type blurbs)

Roger,
I remember engine #13, a stegosarus. I do not remember the brontosaurus. Was it bigger than the steam engines?

Hello Perry:
I too think you have a fantastic layout. However, given how the T Rex can walk on water, is he the dinosaur messiah?
Regards,
John O
Perry,
I love your layout, but not with that thing menacing the occupants. Poor Mr. Gutts Madder. Will there be a funeral?
I have an idea. You see that box canyon in the second to the last photo? Well, you could build a large fence with gate across the canyon entrance, then lure the beast into the canyon and close the gate.
Great Job, but I wonder can you get a blow out patch for the raft?

Are you sure Castle Canyon isn't the Valley of Gwangi?
