Arnold, the town drunk ran over Pete's garbage can. When Pete hollored at him, Arnold threw the can on the roof, and yelled, how's that for your *** garbage can? The story is inspired by, but not a model of real events from my home town.

How about a gold mine?

Wolfgang has a mine on his HOn3 Silver Creek RR, but I have not seen a post from him in a long time.

Where art thou, Wolfgang?

It's been about 4 or 5 hours at least since the Gold Mine request and it looks to be a thread killer.  So here we go

Jarrell:

Been off the thread for a while--didn't realize we needed a gold mine.  Here's Sierra City with the Kentucky Mine in the center.

Now show me a river.

This could be Alaska,--- but it's not. You made me think, I don't have an Alaska scene and I spent three months there. Something to add someday

For birds, here are my pheasants. The loggers have rigged a shooting platform on the logging car and are having a shoot at the Hill farm, right from the track. Illegal, but they didn't seem to care. Also a pic of the birds flying. They are hard to keep in focus.

Show me a tall building

It's hard to tell in this photo, but this is where the team track will be on my layout. If it doesn't yet qualify as a team track, feel free to skip me.

Show me something electric.

Darn. I missed the church, but here it is any way.  I already showed you my brewery, but here is the loading dock.

We still need another brewery.

My favorite parts of the desert. The Superstition mountains with a lot of compressions and then the cactus around the area.

Show me skid row.

I was going to ask for hoodoos a couple of days ago, and here they are!! I decided they were too rare. The only person I know that modeled them was the O Scale guy (don't remember his name) who often put dinosaurs with his trains; have not seen him around in a long time...

Oh well, back to skid row

Show me skid row.

How about an abandoned gas station [left] in a very economically distressed neighborhood - can't get any more "skid row" that that, ya think?

Show me something mining-related.
