Todd;

Great photos of a great whimsical model. Perhaps you need to add some extra safety restraints to the folks on the "beer can" tank car for those times when the train has to stop suddenly - and that chain allows it to ram the caboose!    The old tires should buffer the car, but I'd expect its riders to take off like Superman! 

Best,
David Meashey

Da Low Rider looks great. I'm sorry I missed the show but I'm looking forward to seeing it run in person sometime. Great work and clever idea Todd!

The miners had been complaining about the "bad element" that had moved into town, but I think that they were just mad because the view of their hanging was being obstructed. After all, what good is it to hang someone if you can't make a public spectacle of it?

The miners called in the Tortoise Town Aesthetics Society and it was determined that using curved track taken from the park where the the children play, the siding could be extended 72 scale feet and the existing station moved to the other side where it would not obscure the dinosaur dig or Lowrider train, making the vatos happy at the same time.

The children's "climb on" 4-6-0 in the park would be relocated onto an acquired piece of straight track previously used at the engine test facility.

This would push the Lowrider Train well beyond the mine area. Addtionally, the relocated station provides easier access to the dinosaur dig and mine area.
