    d.vandel,

    the piece of wood-trim one is real slick. funny how big of a different the chosen surface can make.

     

     

    its a real piece of trim, but i repainted the whole thing (faux wood grain, fake rusty nails, the shadow from the nails are also fake)... :pumpkin: :pumpkin:

    Trust me, this video is for sale at this site SOMEWHERE. It costs like $29.95 though. I received it as a gift. Gandy Dancer sells about 500 train videos, or something like that.

     

    THANKS!;)

    Re: Amory Railroad Days festival a success

    I just heard from Texas Madman, who reports a total of 35 tramps and hobos arrived at the Amory Railroad Days festival in Armory, MS. He says it's the first time in eight years that it did not rain during the festival, that nobody got in trouble, and that a grand time was had by all.

     

    He especially complimented the food, and says that the local cafe owners (one cafe, two owners) have "adopted" he hobos. Several tramps apparently worked at the cafe during the festival, providing extra hands to help deal with the increased business, and taking their pay in meals. The cafe also fed the assembled hobos at least one meal, down at Hobo Corner in Amory's Frisco park.

    This may not be a complete list. Tex, Stretch, Burlington, Emma and Opps are headed towards Memphis via freight train.

     

    Man, I sure wish I could have gone. Unfortunately, my mother is in Intensive Care and I needed to stay here with her and my family.

    Sounds like they had a good time, though.

     

    Kabar, sorry to hear about your mom, best wishes.. Do you know where to find that N. Geographic video..
