Just don't tie them to the back of the caboose and forget about those tunnels or power lines.

From my study widow which looks out over the Indian Ocean I can occassionally see objects resembling prostrate humans tethered below frail kite like sails with whining lawnmower engines with propellors whirring around defying gravity and common sense scudding up and down the coast. I am often attending to model railway related activities when these flying objects pass my field of vision.
Does this qualify as a model rail / ultralight activity ?
I'll stick to model rail activity thanks.
Geoff I wish I was better trained.

Umm could you define "appropriate topics" please.........

Would they include...
anything about UP bashing or how old are you?
what is your job?
where do you live?
how do you sleep at night?

just asking...stuff seems to run the gamut here

Hey, I've responded to some of those topics, and even wrote one once entitled "It must be lunch break", but I stand by my signature, and don't plan to change it ever.[:D]
