Gee, it's been almost 24 hours.  Nobody has anything "cyber"?  A robot?  A model of a computer factory?  Something automated on your layout?

 I agree, it has been way to long for a new picture!

 So, lets see something or a misfit that you where told was not worth a darn and works great for you!

  Here's mine!

 

 

 They are MRC F7's and when I posted about them I was told they where junk and not worth buying. I got them pretty cheap and installed DH 123's and they work fine!

 So show me your misfits or things you where warned not to buy!

I hear that in the Arab world, there is an all-female university with a completely automated light-rail system, because women are not allowed to come into contact with a male train operator who is not a relative, and women are not allowed to run trains, hence the robotic operation.  But I guess only a female could railfan that line and model it...

Karl/Ollevan:  Beautiful photos, guys!

Okay, latest completed project--that would be Malakoff Dry Diggings, a scarred landscape left over from hydraulic mining in the 1870's.  I finished it last year.

Show me another latest project.

One of the local farm boys has the afternoon off, so he went over to his favorite place to watch trains and dream about becoming an engineer...

Show me a relaxing scene.

Wow, a tough crowd you hang out with. You eat Cigarets and Coke, and your worried about cinders.Wink

It is early morning in Flat Rock ,and here is the Flat Rock Cafe, building on the end. During nice weather, of which there is a lot in the South Valley, tables are put out in front. The food is good and the train watching is always enjoyable.

Show me a place where people can relax and watch trains.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we have finished the left overs so we will eat out tomorrow. Since it's my turn to treat I'm taking the gang to the Snack Shack down by the station.

Besides some cheap good food may be we will see a train. I hope it isn't a steamer  as I don't want a bunch of cinders on my food.

 

Show me another good place to eat.
