Hello everyone.
Been talking to my girlfreind again. She has come up with some funny ideas for a model railroad scene.
The first one. A Bush UFO Abducting a Cow.
The second.
A pink gay sheep named Steve, and his lover a purple gay sheep named Herman. And they are sitting around sharing a coloring book.
Other than that, my model train universe has been dead last several weeks. How has yours been?

Now that is quite an imagination your girlfriend has there.
I have been hitting the layout about 2 to 3 times a week, getting benchwork, sub-roadbed, and roadbed put down. Progress reports on layout work log are posted on my website, the link is below my sig.
UFO Abductiong a Cow hmmm does she play Destroy All Humans on the PS2?
Play country music real loud. Lots of yodeling. Worked on “Mars Attacks.” Too late for Jack Black and Jack Nicholson, though. As for the sheep, are you sure she isn’t confusing them with Teletubbies?
I’m working on the Ultimate Coverup. No, nothing to do with the Nixon administration, or Hillary’s makeup specialist. (I’m an equal opportunity critic, by the way. Don’t like politicians of every stripe. Both Tricky Dick and Hillary could do with about an inch of drywall compound, IMHO.)
The Ultimate Coverup is my answer to the Atlas Switch Machine problem. Installed, and ugly. We could make a reality TV show out of this. Two teams, the one that does the best job on the Atlas machines on a pre-built layout wins. Any sheep used must conform to normal sheep colors. Judges are Dave Frary, Regis Philbin and Charo. Did you know that Charo speaks fluent Japanese?
I haven’t been doing too much model railroading. I’ve spending more time building Braille Scale Armor models. I just haven’t had the desire this year. I have been doing a lot of railfanning though

On our layout at Purkeys Toy Trains…We have a UFO abducting an MTH outhouse with people inside of it. It’s hung up with fishing thread, and looks pretty good.
You could always have a Waldo figure somewhere on the layout for a massive game of “Where’s Waldo?”
Pheonix-Utopia Railroad has a newly cut turntable hole and paper track templates of the track plan laid with push-pins. The track plan has been finalized (for the 3rd or 4th time), and I need to make one more trip to the hobby shop to exchange one more right turnout for a left turnout. It’s taking forever to get to the point where I can lay some track. I haven’t built one structure or done any scenery yet, but I am making progress. I do have ProCab envy, though. 
Right now, I’m planning DC.

I havn’t seen it in her collection, but She is an avid PS-2 gamer, It will turn up sooner or later.

Sounds quite weird but Hollywood would probably like scenes like that,imho.
How about this for a railroad scene:
A group of graffitti taggers, having just trashed a boxcar, are running from the railyard still holding on to their rattle cans. Jut a few yards behind them is a mob of railroad workers chasing them with crobars, wrenches, and pipes!
You mean like this? [:D]
Not my photo… But one of the talented modelers at another board…
Or How about running from the Rock Island’s Avenger. Commic Book superhero who fights freight car taggers, and the Corporate Excesses of the Onion Pacific RR.

Neat idea for a modern setting - how about a re-creation of “The Emperor of the North” for a steam eara pike!
