It's not that they're hard to make but that I need so many of them for the scene I'm modeling. Every downtown fair has at least one group of about 6-8 of these familiar and odiferous icons. I found someone who'll cast me what I need if the mold works out. Here's the masters, made from memory, since I haven't seen one of this design in quite sometime.

Naw, but I did have a scary moment or two with my 4x36 belt sander :eek: I didn't know if painting them would effect the casting process by I do have a perfectly seasick shade of tourquois for the finished products.

Fred---you been in the hobby long enough to remember a product from back in the 80s called Olfactory Airs. They offered 50+ different fragrances that you'd spot around your layout prior to an operating session. Scent #716, Live Cattle mighta come close, but I have a vivid enough memory from my construction daze to water my eyes every time I look at them :eek: .
 
Here's one put to work...yes, there is a prototype for it on the Union Pacific but, alas, the photo's copywrited.

Thats neat Bob, At a recent train show here they were showing videos of a group who own skidders and they tour together and each group brings along one of those needed porto potties.
