Is there a website, or a name to put to the videos?  Where can I link up with seeing this guy's videos?

 

Sorry about that.

Here is a link to his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/jlwii2000

This was his April fool's video from last year. He has made it his anual tradition to produce something of this kind every year.

 

 

In all seriousness, this guy runs a great channel with excellent reviews. I invite you to check his real videos out.

I can't believe that's how it ended. Wouldn't he follow up the ending of the video if it was an April fools day joke.

Does weed make good trees?

If you smoke enough of it even a bottle brush tree will look good.

"You have the right to remain scale intensive...any out of scale items will be used against you in a court of MRRing law..."

While it MAY be an April fools joke, one can be arrested for about anything these days.
I can see where a non-MRRer would be suspicious of scale model trees looking like "weed".

Their standard response when they pull someone over {I have been a passenger a few times and once for "failure to obey a traffic control device" myself} seems to be is "I smell marijuana smoke". Even when there is no such smoke, or any smoke!

SO, yeah artificial foliage as pot? Yeah I see it.

{I hope that above truth is NOT considered "political" by our esteemed hosts!}

No responses needed.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

I've always felt like visiting the local hobby shop was like visiting a pusher.  He has always fed my habit. 

I have been known to transport too much rolling stock over state lines. 

Happy April

If that is a April Fools joke its a good one that will go viral.

If not..

That poor cop will have egg all over his face when K9 finds nothing of interest.

I would call my Attorney.
