Mad OK,ok! I ain't gonna let this drop! Evil or Very Mad Here's what I wanna see, build anything railroad related using some common household item. Now that leaves it wide open. You can make it easy on yourself or hard, use whatever material is required. I know I am not the only one modeling out there so let's see it. (THIS IS A DOUBLE DOG, FINGERS CROSSED, SPITTIN ON A FLAT ROCK & STANDING ON ONE LEG DARE)

Wowza! OK, well, you heard the Sher'f, men, now get at it tusk mwha grrr dumb

New folks might want to look over the Stretch Your Legs sticky if this is all confusin' to ya.

The old leg stretcher threads are all linked at the bottom of this sticky thread.

Remember, whoever posts the first leg strecher photo here, gets to pick the next material, so let's see what you can do, good or bad!

I'm trying to think of something new to use.
I'm always using VCR parts, broken toys, twisty ties, Bic lighter parts, ballpoint pens, paper clips, staples, popsicle sticks to beer cans.

I just ain't modelling this summer. I have been off doing some other fun things. Weather has been real nice this year. Maybe next month when the humidity is at 101% and 95 degrees I will get back to some trains. Till then I am doing other stuff.

I'm still working with steel wire.
The wire I used to make these caboose end railings came from a floral arangement. It was used to hold the flowers together and to stand straight.
