Coming back to haunt me. .
Posted by Rene Schweitzer on Monday, March 6, 2006 2:01 PM
Over the years, I have been "recruited" for a number of photo shoots at Kalmbach. I recently learned that one of the photos I'm in wll be on the _cover_ of a new booklet! Yikes!

You can see it here. Click on the image for an even bigger version:

You 're probably right, Vic. I would n't recognize Rene in Orange make up. Or did you mean that you thought she was the rider?

If you look hard enough you can see train layout designs and track plans, very well done Rene.
Preaching the hobby.
COOL.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Gotta love photo shoots! You can't wear patterned clothes (stripes, etc.) or black so it limits what you can wear. I used a lot of Shout to get the stains out from my knees that day!

Boy Rene, That's sharp marketing! Now we'll all have to order the book so we can see who we're talking to!

Ian, Shout is the brand name of a detergent booster (or something like that) that she had to use because the photographer had her kneeling in the dirt (whilst wearing white slacks) pretending to work on planting posies on a garden railroad. That should explain both the reference to the photo on the cover and the use of "Shout". Next time you're in the states just watch some of the commercials on the telly and you're sure to see one for Shout.

You'll have to buy an all white boxcar so she can use her stamps and scrapbooking supplies on it.
