It’s interesting how you can find toy train related knick-nacks in the strangest places. Last weekend I went to Glory Days Sports Bar. Got one of them colorful drinks that came with a plastic shark filled with blood. Actually, it was some kind of funky coolaid. Also, a green lizard was thrown in.
They give you these TV dials that you can flip channels to different sports channels. I chose the Wallygator cartoon. The friend who was with me donated his lizard and shark so that BB the beagle would have toys to play with and so I would have a little something for toy train fun.
It’s amazing, like I said, how toy trains have connections with just about anything.
the rare desert shark was captured by some trackworkers and placed on a train bound for Albuquerque
a large green alligator was spotted coming out of a culvert; down in the Killeen, Texas area, where I used to go to visit friends, alligators would actually show up in the desert areas after floods!
BB the beagle remains skeptical of desert sharks. She thinks it’s a bit fishy
