[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Oklahoma Train Nut Thanks for everyones prayers and support! As for the module, I am going to try somthing in the way of western oklahoma. Oil co. or a town with a grain elevator. I may try to build a tornado and put it in the background[:D] [/quote] Alex - You've been added to my daily prayer list. I, too, have had some medical issues, and can say with great certainty that my faith in God pulled me through six surgeries for a recurring abscess/infection. Very nasty. Having a medical problem gives you a new perspective on life. Even when you're at your worst, there are those in the world that have it much worse than you do. It can be tough to keep a positive outlook, and there are days that it is very difficult to 'get over the hump', so to speak. Make a concious effort each morning to thank the Lord for giving you another day, then put a smile on your face and try to keep it there! I know just from the support you've been getting in this forum that the prayers for you are being heard! Keep the faith, bro. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger - that might sound a bit harsh now, but from my own experience, it's true. And when you DO get over this problem, don't forget that even something as simple as a smile can work miracles for someone who is down in the dumps. [:D] Now, on to the trains! I LOVE your idea about a tornado in the background - VERY original! I have never heard of that being modeled before. Additionally, you might be able to work some trickery with the backdrop to get lightning effects going. I seem to remember an article in a magazine where a gentleman had done just that, but it escapes me right now. Maybe someone else on here will remember - and if you like the idea, reposting it as its own topic might help get it more exposure. By the way, I've overcome some childhood medical problems and I now fly fighters (though purists would say I'm an attack pilot) in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. Never listen to them when they say, 'No.' If I had a dollar for every doctor who said I would never be a pilot, much less a military one, I'd be rich! Happy holidays, and happy model RRing! Chris
