Is this prototype? Or just strangeness?

    Actually, it's a very well made HO layout with handlaid code 100 rail. The "shoes" are just stray drops of red paint.

    BTW, don't forget to check out my "Bridge for Sale - Cheap!" thread...

    My guess is some lady (or otherwise, ya never know nowadays) was walking down the tracks on a scorching hot day, and the melted creosote stuck her shoes down. I saw a pic in a book once of a rattlesnake in Caliente, CO that had itself glued to the ties, same reason.

    looks like there is some engineer who lost his shoes as well as might be living a double life:eek:mg:
    actually, depending on the direction of the train, it may be the fireman

    Well, at first I thought it might be one of Nolans flex track laying gaffes. :p

    (where's Nolan when I'm yanking his chain?)

    Catching up on things after three weeks in Alaska. My tarts don't wear red shoes. And they prefer sailors to trainmen.
