Last night I trundled off to a different work location. The track access was through a brand new shiny (plastic) NIMBY/DINKY housing estate. So I was good and parked up on the access road.
I settled down to edit some pics of my girlfriend. very proper pics in a nice bikini. Next thing I know I’m surrounded by the local constabulary… What am I doing? Why am I there?
And railfans think that they have problems!
Anyway… they politely suugested that I should edit some different pictures.
I got to thinking (no wonder I had to sleep so long today).
So I went to my mass of pics of RR from the net and started editing them to word docs (I assume you know how to do this).
Anyway… it’s blindingly obvious… but I’ll point it out anyway…
You now all those questions about “what colour is this”? or Where are these placed"? etc?
Well… I started going through pics selecting out things like ballast shapes and colours, relay boxes, switch motors and ground throws.
I should have known this anyway… but…
when you take a big pic of a whole lot of interesting RR stuff and select out a feature to a specific seperate pic… and bunch several of these together in a doc… I suddenly end up with a really useful chunk of specific information.
I’m going to be busy for months!
The nice policemen laughed like mad and suggested that I park round the back of the nearby cemetary… the residents were less nervous of strange people parking…
have a nice day [8D]
PS I find that using my chainsaw user certification as ID has an interesting effect.
(UK forum members should appraciate the significance of being certified… I guess anyone from Texas will get the general idea too…
