Stunning rescue caught on film!!!

[tangerine-jack]

I caught on camera a daring and dangerous train rescue on the Dixie D SL by Spliff the Wonder Cat.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

Spliff the Wonder Cat warns the oncoming train that the track is out!  Oh no, we're doomed!  Save us Spliff!

 

 

 

Mission complete!  We're saved!  Thank you Spliff!  Off on another daring rescue----

 

 

Late fall on the Dixie D Short Line

Say, those viaducts turned out nice! The layout looks really good, Jack. BTW, I also had a "wonder cat" -- Hobbes the Wonder Cat. Orange striped, with a white belly, muzzle and paws. Looked like the tiger from "Calvin and Hobbes". He loved to play fetch with the lid from a plastic 35mm film can. We rescued him from the pound at about age 6, and had him for 7 years. He passed away in '97.

An amazing rescue! The Wonder cat deserves some recognition in the next G.R.A.P.E. publications newsletter.

Classic!  Very funny stuff.

Yes, Spliff is indeed a Wonder Cat.   Later that same day he warned us that his sister, Wifi, was locked in the garage, again another amazing rescue! (He would have let her out himself but he doesn't have any opposable thumbs)

 I also like the way the viaducts turned out.  I stole the basic idea from a layout I visited last year, then improved upon it slightly to fit my needs.  It's so very easy and extremely low cost, it's a wonder more folks don't use them.  I think the total cost for my viaducts as shown was around $20 and a few casual weekends of work.

I have always maintained that if you get one good idea from visiting a layout or reading atext book on this subject you have done well.

By the way Jack i know you will feal let down if i don't tell you i didn't like your viaduct.
