You seem to be having so much fun with the photos you will probably forget about "building" for a while!!!

Have fun

It's Back...And It's Bigger Than Ever!

Remember the 6000 S-U-X commercial from "RoboCop"?

It looks like my kids have been over at your house!

 

[Casey Feedwater]

Shades of John Allen!

Can you harness it up and put it to work as an 0-4-0 yard switcher?

Hi Val, Obviously a re-creation of the 1953 "B" grade horror film THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS

Do I win a prize or something???

Enjoy the new camera. Looking forward to more pics

 

[spitfire]

Okay Shamus and Casey - the Bronto2000 is available for tree-felling, switching, hauling, and mayhem, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Vic - I think I have that same woodie station wagon from your photo! Is that some kind of montage you've made or is it an actual photo?

Charlie your kids have been at my house. They played with the layout, ate all the cookies, then left on a giant pterodactyl!

To everyone else, thanks for all your comments! Hope I'm not using up too much bandwith but I am just so thrilled to finally be able to post some pix. This forum (and everyone one it) is great!

cheers
Val

Hi Val,
Thought I would play around with the photo abit and lighten/sharpen it for you.

Val,
You need an HO scale flux capacitor (and a scale Delorian!) to get Back To the Future!!!! Fun pic! I also like all of the shots you posted in the other thread. Those city signs look so good and I'm a fan of little scenes like the one of the fella who took an early happy hour.
Nice going with the new camera!
Ralph

Hi Val, That's an actual frame from the movie. It was high tech in 1953 BG (before Godzilla ). I was 7 years old and it scared the "living beejeezus" outta me. but I've been hooked on them (those "hokie" old B&W horror films) ever since. Don't get me started or we'll have The Creature From The Black Lagoon (half man half fish ) and THEM! (giant ants ) running around here until The Day The Earth Stood Still (aliens attacking Washington DC )

Check this out for tons of free horror movie posters. You may want to ad a link from your site.

Hey Vic that poster is grrrrrrreat! I love that cheesey old sci-fi monster stuff from the 50's too. Lets see, 1953, I was 5 and wearing pigtails.

Don't you think that the woodie station wagon in the shot from the movie looks exactly like the Classic Metal Works version?

Cheers
Val

 

[Vic]

Val, It looks exactly like one. Check my post again. I added a link for tons of old horror movie poster for free.

Ok who let Dino loose? LOL

Is this a making of Jurassic Park 4 or did some wierd scienctist finally decide to clone dinosaurs?

 

[Casey Feedwater]

Hoo boy, did you bring back some memories, Vic! I was also 7 in 1953. Without a doubt, the scariest movie I ever saw was Them! I had nightmares for a year or two thanks to that one.

To this day, I can still see the soldier going down the manhole and the giant ant coming out of the sewer opening behind him. YIKES

hmmmm.... I may have to play around with a few things... hmmmmm.... when's the next "Magic" contest?....

Casey it is funny how stuff like that remains with us over the years isn't it. From the "Beast" I can vividly recall the monster bending over, picking up a policeman, chewing him up and swallowing him. All during the time he was being eaten up the policeman was screaming "Moma, Moma!!" In addition to being just plain "hokie" some of those old movies were full of some great and sometimes tragic or witty dialog but you had to listen closely for it

Then again in Jurassic Park it was a lawyer who got chewed up while sitting on the toilet. Can't say that he was at the right place to mess himself!
