Mark, Only you and I have mastered the secrets of the Kato PA! Everyone else talks about them in mysterious tones, but you and I have actually gotten them to run. I have so mastered this Zen art that I now send a single PA up to rescue my 43-car ore jenny train, and haul it through the horrendous grades of Allston-Brighton. So, shh! The secret is ours! The picture of my butt was illustrative. It's OK, as long as it doesn't make "the Best of Nolan's Stupid Mistakes." What bothered me was the inclusion of that shiny bald spot on the back of my head. Man, that spot has grown to "O" gauge proportions in just the last few years. People say I'm tall enough that noone notices--but what happens when I sit down? Perhaps the Alcos were just making a transfer run?
"Perhaps the Alcos were just making a transfer run?" No such luck- They ran so well up there I had to share it with you. As to bald spots growing- I look like Friar Tuck played by Eugene Pallette in the original Robin Hood movie from the rear. I don't even have a spot anymore. It has now been likened to the spreading hole in the ozone layer in Antarctica. Your picture- Unless Charlie or some anonymous "N scale board moderator" deleted all snide comments following that post, I remain the sole "butt" of some quite humorous observations. But, you know, being a straight man for Benny..........
Lets put it simple...I have learned a bit of the art of appeasing women by observing the relationships around me, and number one, If they cannot notice anything wrong, they don't complain!!! And besides...Something like that...can you imagine holding a paintbrush sopping with white paint over the layout??? Ok, perhaps I am a little unusual...I have a Pink Pacific now...
I had my remaining hairs cut very short. All that means is that they can fall into the keyboard much more easily.
