That is something...The thing that really gets me is the woman saying that she would include you in her lawsuit. I guess she didn't realize how stupid she sounds there. Just because you build a model of the to use as a representation doesn't mean that you are truely influencing anyone. If anything, you are helping them make a better informed decision because they have something to look at. Unless she got a real good lawyer, or the judge isn't the sharpest lightbulb in the Pop-Tart box, I don't see how it would fly. And because you did it voluntarily backs you up more; you are in no way affiliated with the town. They are probably complain now. They now have to pay out the butt for gas, when they could have easily commuted on the train. Tisk tisk tisk. Do you have any pictures of the diorama? [/quote] You should have seen the diorama TrainFreak409. It included everything I could think of that I felt people would have questions about. The train itself was on an elivated right of way with openings in it every so often to allow cattle to cross over from pasture to pasture and for farmers to get their tractors and equipment through. There was an overpass going over the tracks for automobiles. I even included a little town with kids playing in a park. The woman that threatened to include me in the law suit said that I made it all look oh so simple as if it would fit right in and be accepted by everyone-except her... She was a real witch. One guy even told me that he thought about taking his foot and kicking the display off its pedistal, but was afraid that he might go to jail for it, which was his only reason for not doing so. Tracklayer [/quote] You sure you weren't at the Dome in New Orleans, sounds like about the same fantical (sp) reaction. Are you still looking to support the proposed rail project? I hope so. Are there any other backers to the plan? [/quote] I'm always supportive of new and better ways of doing things, but I really don't want to see anyone lose their homes and/or properties in the process... If they had planned on putting the train up on an elivated system that would have been say 25 feet in the air, and business could have go on as usual, then that might have been okay, but the plan was to cut straight across what ever lay in its path... The whole thing finally came to a dead end, and was scrapped altogether. A while back, there was talk of using existing rail lines to run commuter trains from down town Houston out to the surrounding rural areas to help cut down on the city traffic problem, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. Tracklayer [/quote] Someone wanted to kick your diorama?[:O] Another women wanted to sue??[:0][:0] Over a diorama inteded to help the community?????[:0][:0][:0] Some people[}:)] I am sorry that had to happen to you TRACKLAYER[:(]
