O Scale Toy Rail

[Herr Dr. Professor]

"Ed Gein or a Jeffery Dahmer" not to mention Joe McCarthy! In the last case, however, it was the bottle that helped put him over the edge. Here are two more GPRR photos just for fun and to keep this slightly on topic.

I created this train station scene based on a figure of a young lady' whose suitcase fell open with all her undies on display! Note the spiffy young man watching, about to come to the rescue.

And if that's too sappy for you, here's some guys working' up a sweat. I had to have some excuse for a lock-on sticking out into the highway alongside the track. This did the trick, and provided opportunity for a traffic jam, too. (...excuse for more 1/43 cars and trucks)

Herr Dr.,

Way too clever with the open suitcase!

Cheers,
Eric.

LOL, this is great
Thanks for sharing

The man on the floor with the ladder reminds me about a tv program we have in England, 24 Hours in A and E (Accident and Emergency). And very often they have an old man (not the same old man) who's fallen off a ladder, which seems to excite my family expecting me to end up on tv every time I use a ladder lol. My eldest daughter wasn't happy about me going up on her roof to repair it, because the program caused her to worry. I did try to explain that those on the tv aren't used to using ladders

SOG: You're back. There was much discussion of your very short absence; we missed you! A professor, I was not supposed to be familiar with ladders. Then, too, I was not supposed to have grease under my fingernails and dried paint on my hands come Monday mornings classes, too. Now retired, I prefer the grease, especially with age. I'll try to get some more photos in a few days, but writing and whatnot else has kept me busy.

Eric: What do you mean "Tundra"? Why yesterday (May 1) I took the snow blower off the tractor for the first time since November 2019. Then I had to clean the hydraulic fluid off the garage floor. More dirt under the fingernails.

Holy Moly, cool!
Wowser, i love seeing others train layouts, that sounds like a mighty impressive layout!
Great fun

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Thank you for the kind words: remember the ground work is only painted sound board, so you will find far more impressive layouts in many, many places. Then, too, my backdrop is blue paint on concrete wall, sort of the "giant economy size." I am really just playin' around. But it is fun!

[Jimster]

And that is what it is all about!

If anyone is curious, here is a turn on the Golden Prairie Railroad with a train of inexpensive cars put out by "Menard's," a "home improvement" store in the Upper Midwest U.S. Apart from the abomination of the third rail,* oversized wheels and overgenerous track clearance typical of 3-Rail O Gauge, one of the cars has an enjoyable error. Can you find it?

*After enough time with 3-Rail O Gauge, one starts to find real tracks with their two rails rather odd.
