Russ very nice Train Did not know you were in California. You are big into trains. When I was growing up I used to go stay with My Uncle who worked for C & O Railroad. He would take to to the Train yard and let me Drive trains around in the Yard, and on occasions I would get to go on a round trip run from my home town to Portsmouth Ohio. Had a great time doing that.

Russ, What's that table like that it's sitting on? Trying to build 360 degree access table for myself. By the way you're taking all the fun out of saying"it's a train, Russ." :)

For the train buffs - especially model train layouts, do you know about the layout in Hamburg, Germany? Awesome. Even has a 'functioning' airport.

Eugene - no chance of that happening these days - to much security and scrutiny - no fun for kids anymore.

Scott - the table is the extensions for my table saw.

Jim - yeah that is some huge operation. Very well funded and staffed.

When I was very young, my Dad worked on the Railroad. Of my Dad's various occupations, I liked his job with the "Great Northern Railroad" the least... I couldn't go with him to work, but did go with him to pick up his paycheck. The engines were scary even sitting still... They growled, hissed randomly and their horns were unbearably loud, but worst of all, we had to go to the "RIP" track (Repair, Inspect and Prevent) to pick up his check... even the name was frightening!
