imo some of the "junkyard scenes" I've seen in the "popular" model rr mags look like a dog ate some toy cars that he didn't like. I stopped buying said mags when I came accross this site.

As usuall some VERY nice photo's! Since you seem to know what you'r doing when it comes to pitcher takin' could you help me.

In the days of my youth ,the "'ol swimmin' hole" was under the RR bridge {deck girder} and as a rite of passage sort of thing the local greasers wouls sit in the side as trains went by. Sure was loud.
