Mine originally started as a photo I took of the Q354 heading off the New Castle/Willard main north to Cleveland. (a rare shot in daylight as this is usually a night train) & then did some cut,copy,paste in Paint of a donkey my better half got a pic of at a farm about 5 miles away from where the original train photo was taken. (actually, the donkey is a jenny (female) according to the owner, but I don't tell too many people that. Big Smile This is the pic before cropping.
