Relief-etched in .013 brass for extra detail. eNjoy
hey i can use the lawyer for a trainmaster now, i was always looking for a dead trainmaster for my layout!!!!!!!!
Thank you Don for this update.Now we are finally getting somewhere in this hobby.If we can get animals that were run over by trains it would be even better.How many times do I see dead animals, possums especially(they are the only animal dummer than cats and i think they are very close in that race)and the occasional dog along the tracks.For some reason when we hit them 1 animal is made into 2 or more,sometimes even instant ground chuck.
WHAT?! No corporate CEO! oh well I guess I can make do with the Lawyer as a stand-in. Now off to build a scene with my GHQ steam-roller that I never really understood why I bought it a few years back. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!...
A couple of trips ago I hit 3 dogs in a row with the train. I think one was in heat, making the others preoccupied. Funny thing, I have never hit a cat. Lots of dogs, birds, possums, and rabbits, a couple of deer, a wild turkey, and even one human, but never any cats. Brian
I had hopped a ride in a F-7 one day and we were rocking along just fine when suddenly the engineer started blasting the horn. I looked up and saw this cow right in the middle of the track. It just stood there looking at us as we came at it. I didn't feel a thing when we hit it and the engineer complained about cow sh-- all over the front end. I had to hop off before we got to the terminal so didn't see what the front end looked like. We were going about 45 mph.
Well now....that's just what every layout needs...ROAD KILL. I think perhaps that this bunch at Gold Medal Models have a LITTLE too much FREE TIME on their hands. I tried to talk them into making a card full of N scale blank brass engine number plates for us steamer guys.....and they come up with road kill. Maybe I should have tried talking them into making me a few quarts of whatever it is they're drinking down there. ROAD KILL ?????
We could easily adapt this figure to also represent politicians! Now there's a herd that needs a drastic thinning! BoxcabE50
Hee hee hee............ just what this sick puppy needs- Wonder if I could redo the dead humanoids to represent bunny-huggers tied to the hood of a 4-wheel drive pickup full of deer hunters....... or perhaps one Osama bin Laden- impaled by a flagpole (with the American flag)............ Gotta have humor, y'know..........
