Lets see, I've done the "glue yourself together with CA" thing. [:0]Thank goodness Sweetie had nail polish remover. [:X] <br />The cats have derailed a few cars, smashed a few trees, minor stuff.[:I] <br />I had a Bachman Dash 8 take a nosedive to the floor, only broke the front truck, I ordered parts and recieved front and rear trucks and store the extra parts after repairing the unit. Years later, a friend gave me a box of stuff, and in it was a Dash 8 with a truck broken off, the rear one! So all together, that cloud had a silver lining too![:p] <br />I guess the worst, and funniest moment came with the latout I had when I was a kid. Typical 4x8 loop, and I had ringed the layout with utility poles. To these I had run complete sets of "wires" out of a synthetic black thread, and had secured the wires with Superglue. My sisters cat had somehow gotten into the room, and dozed off in the middle of the layout. Being startled by me entering the room, he bolted, right into the utility wires, which yanked every pole on the layout out of its hole and ensnared him inside a ball of thread as he fell to the floor. Talk about a mad cat! He was a moving mass of claws, teeth, furr, thread and plastic poles moving across the floor like a missle. Yeah, I was mad, but I was too busy laughing at him as my sister untangled him. [(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] <br />Funny thing, he never went into that room again! [:D][:D][:D]
