I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
I'm a fan of the Old Masters.
Have fun with your trains

This is my desktop at work ... it's one of my favorite scenes on my layout: Slater Creek Trestle.
By the way, this same location, from a different angle, was on the cover of the January 1997 MR:
This location is also shown in this video on YouTube.

Bob--
Another outstanding shot.
I'm using this shot I took last week of the inside of an HO scale Durango Press speeder shed:
The shed is 2-1/2" wide, 1-1/2" deep.

I like using scenes from my layout that can't be seen from the front. This is my current wall paper shot.
Loathar,
That picture of Monica's boyfriend's wife will sure keep the bugs and critters away from the computer.

Deer & trains are my two passions, so I switch back & forth. If it weren't for the bike path along our local tracks, I'd probably have one of my trail cams along side...lol.
I use whatever suits my fancy, ranging from Natalie Gulbis teeing off, the Blue Angels blasting through a canyon in Colorado, the shuttle Endeavour lifting off, and pictures I've taken at football games. Right now its the delicious Rachel Weisz from a Disney ad she did.
But for a long time, it was this. Too bad that gas line warning post thing was there.
