Thanks for the info on the Model Mount. I've added it to the Detailing Page of my model links, with credit given to you. Just my little bit to help others in the hobby.

A couple more: Shanghai Noon with Jackie Chan and for horror fans, Species.

Okey, here are a few more for you: Throw Mama From the Train - Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal :thumb: Flashback - Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Night at the Museum - Ben Stiller :thumb: :thumb: and who could forget Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O'Toole :cool:

Doc, if you intend to model movie western sets it might be worth it to buy a DVD player for your computer. They aren't very expensive any more and snapshots of frames could be a great asset to you.

Would that be something like "size doesn't matter"? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There is another way to get the pictures you want. If you have a DVD player on your computer many of the software programs will allow you to capture snapshots from the screen. Watch the movie and whenever you see a building that you like take a snapshot of it. Save them to a file and refer to...

There aren't many of the buildings, but you'll find a few at 3:10 to Yuma (2007) - Movie Pictures | Stills | Poster - RopeofSilicon.com More at 3 10 to yuma movie - Google Image Search

I think that it would be easier to name western movies that DIDN'T have a train in it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Here's one that you fine upstanding moral folks haven't come up with, "The Red Light District." Named from the conductor's red lantern hanging outside while he was "otherwise occupied :oops: :oops:" inside. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Some companies use their initials to shorten their names, making it easier to pronounce. One notable blunder was Trans World Airlines. There are fewer syllables in their name than in their initials. :p :p :p :mrgreen:

Come to a screeching halt.

They really look good Mike. I especially like your backdrops. They add so much to the realism. :thumb: :thumb: (sorry, but it's one of the first things I look for on a layout :mrgreen:)

Then the two most common types of engines in use today are named after motor vehicles. GP = Jeep & MAC = Mac (as in Mack trucks) :eek: :eek: :eek:

Whistle-stop

Another great movie was O Brother, Where Art Thou? which featured a handcar. :cool:

The thing I learned about names is that they can be pronounced any way the person/company wants, regardless of the spelling. A person who spells their name S-M-I-T-H can pronounce it Jones of they so desire. :confused: :confused: :confused: One of the first companies that I worked for made...

"It's a runaway train on a dead end track." or just "Dead end"??? Not sure if that originated with the railroad.

Unbreakable. Bruce Willis is the sole survivor of a train wreck. Hidalgo had a short scene on an Arabian train. Jakob the Liar & Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful. Most any movie about the holocaust has a train in it.

It isn't always, but every so often this happens to me too.

Now that I know about them, add the CF-7 in most any colors to that list.
