Hmmm.  Do you ever tell us where he was when we don't find him?

Well, that last one was a tough one not made any easier by the stuff on hte work bench. LION *was* indeed on the work bench. Right now he is in a subway tunnel. Tunnels are models too. The yellow blob is the well lighted emergency exit. Bench walls and Railings, where is the LION?

I think he's on the white thing on the floor, on top of the lower front corner.

On the purple glasses that are in the ice cream or yogurt container?

The purple SAFETY glasses were compliments of BNSF Rwy. LION went to a safety training mtg there.

No yogurt containers, I do believe that it is a whipped cream container, and it has drywall screws in it.

I believe it's the duty of all model railroaders to appear disorganized. Problem is...I am disorganized.

L...O...L  Far more organized than my workbench, layout, or...house, for that matter.

Have fun

There was a train outside, but it blew away.

 

If you can find a LION here, you can find him anywhere!

The spaghetti is still there, but it is going to go away, or at least be abandoned in place.

Right now I am re-wiring the GRS machine. No, that is not right, Right now I am repairing computers (day job, you know) but when I get a moment I will rework the cable from 242nd Street to the master control panel. Once that is done, 242nd street should be back in business. And since you cannot run the railroad without 242nd Street, that is a guess a big deal. The rest of the layout is working.

Not much point in showing you a picture of some wires

Whatever did happen to Spaghetti Lion?

It has been a weekend of much wiring. Much more to do too. Not much point in showing you a picture of some wires, so I dug into the archives to find this picture of Coney Island. It will look quite different when it is one.

In a tree in the background, between the trunk and a left-pointing branch.

 Him better not trip, or him might touch third rail. Then we'll have a Fried Cheetah.

He may be regretting not getting off at that stop, having just missed a tasty snack.

He is looking for his next meal from the window sill of the control tower. Our lower right. RIGHT!

He might be alone in the middle of the platform, but he is NOT sitting on a pole...

 

That is an HO scale SUBWAY MAP!
