In-ko-pah RR: The Roving Rooster
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Saturday, October 18, 2014 7:44 PM

Over on another forum (www.largescalecentral.com) somebody came up with the idea of passing around a figurine, to be photographed on each person’s railroad. A large rooster about five inches tall was chosen. (Why a rooster? It has something to do with one of the forum members whose nickname is “Rooster”.)

Anyway, a lot of the guys were having fun with it, creating humorous stories to go with the photos. When my turn came, I got inspired and came up with this series of “newspapers” documenting the rooster’s appearance on my layout.

Enjoy!

Simply fabulous. Your "Extra Editions" show a keen sense of humor.

 Your newspaper headlines was a clever idea Ray and we all enjoyed reading them.   That Rooster is going to be a member of the frequent flyer club.  He visited my RR early on which ws documented with a video.  Fun times.   Where will rooster end up next?
