What do Model Rail roaders look like PART TWO.
Posted by Red Horse on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 4:45 PM

Greetings MRR'ers I had started another post to ask people here to post a picture of what they look like so that we could see each other and now put a face to the screen names here but unfortunately some one came in and got the thread locked down.

I will attempt this one more time because I and others who posted on that thread were sorry to see it get locked.

I shall be brave (no pun intended) and post my mug shot first.

The above pic was taken during a Jr. High School class on Native Americans 2007.

If at first you don't succeed.

Here's my other picture. If I thought you'd take offense I wouldn't post it.

PS My wife is faster in the draw than me. She drawed the picture.

GREAT shot!!  Just out of curiosity, would I be more likely to hear you singing the role of Duke of Mantua or Boris Gudonov--or possibly my ultimate hero Hans Sachs?  Just curious.  Smile [:)]

Here's a shot my wife took of me with my two sons last summer at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA.  The ex-PRR GP30 we're standing on was the very last locomotive to be painted Conrail Blue at the Juniata Shops in Altoona.

...you know you're getting older when Conrail is a museum piece!

The last thread went bad before I could get in on the action.  Hopefully that won't happen too quickly this time.

This is me and the latest addition to our family.  He was born July 28/08.

I only ring steel. Even then, every once in a while, one will jump back and bite you. But I wouldn't do well with arrows. I'm allergic to pain. Nope, don't like it at all.

Besides everyone knows, I'd never see you until after I was a pin cushion.  

Here's me shootin, those same Remmies in competiton in my BP days. Notice my 92 Winchester and Lil Cricket on the "rock" in the foreground.

And following Ken's lead, this is what happens to boys that play with guns on my layout.
