Great photo, I know the Frisco named their E units after race horses, but "Jet Pilot" fits you well
Johnny - I agree on moving the tent scene back into the woods a bit, although from the picture it looks OK.
I saw an Anthony Bourdain show where he was "touring" southwest US food, and one of the conversations he had with a local involved the region's Spanish dialect. Seems it's "Shakespearean" Spanish, the language of Don Quixote and the conquistadors, circa 1550, or thereabouts. Apparently, modern Spanish tourists have been known to think they're being mocked when a local speaks to them. I suppose it could be true; the area was comparatively remote and isolated until the 1830s or so.Joe - We speak two languages here in Texas, English and Mexican Spanish; which is not the same as Cuban or Puerto Rican Spanish. There's a definite drawl to the English from many who have lived here all of their lives, especially from those with rural backgrounds. I take delight in commenting to Mexicans in Spanish when they don't think that I understand what they are saying.
The one in the water should be standing up, water below his knees, rubbing his head.Johnny -- If you want to really "spruce it up" - you could add a tree close to the water with a tire swing on it with a swimmer in the water and one on the tire. another on the limb waiting?
Greg- thanks! I'll add it to my collection of reference photos.Mikey: Heres a box car with a second life.....

Trains shows are one of those places I like to go alone. I love to wander back and forth looking, comparing prices for the same item on different tables, look for unusual items that might be used on my layout. Wander around again in case I missed something, you never know.Well one of my take aways at this show was the varying heights of these modular layouts. From 42 inches to 52 inches I found that very interesting as I am working my layout frame work. I started one wall thus far with the ledger set at 42 inches which is standard bar height. Now I am rethinking it and may go to 48....we shall see.
Another interesting thing about the show was the immense talent and certain people are providing their talents as a service or creating that one thing and selling it. Always intriguing.
I will begin posting my progress soon on my layout etc.
Garry: Somewhere, I have a photo of two Ft. Campbell GP-10s. have to look for the photo.Boris .... Your picture of the Army GP10 reminds me of some I saw that ran between Hopkinsville, KY and Fort Campbell, KY.
Curt: Thanks. Stay tuned, I have more to upload.Joe- Love the Pennsy photos.
Garry: That sounds like a great ride.Johnny ..... Regarding possible train rides, we have thought about riding the Tennessee Central wine tasting trip from Nashville to about 100 miles east of Nashville on the Nashville and Eastern RR. ....
