See how to make an operating (I wish) train order rack and how to use it. If I could get the engineer to stick his arm out the window and grab it on the fly, I would.

See my compromise at; http://www.rrscenery.com Shoot; and here I thought you were going to tell us how to make a module that would emit real train orders (wood, coal or oil smoke for steam, diesel exhaust, or ozone for electrics). > On 2/21/2008 1:45 PM azrock spake thus: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > that would emit real train orders (wood, coal or oil smoke for steam, > diesel exhaust, or ozone for electrics). Been done years ago, as I recall. Think the company was Olfactory Airs or something similar. They offered bottles of scents that had a railroady theme. You put the scents on a scrap of material and placed it near whatever it was you wanted to smell a particular way... i.e., creosote near a timber trestle or your track work. On a totally OT note, remember scratch 'n' sniff inserts in magazines? Claude Allen > Been done years ago, as I recall. Think the company was Olfactory Airs or > something similar.

It was entitled "Oder There". >>> On a totally OT note, remember scratch 'n' sniff inserts in magazines? >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > It was entitled "Oder There". The lucky among those guys were getting OJT and didn't need scratch and sniff centerfolds.

After all, wasn't one of our more decorated units > called "The Fighting 69th"? Well, if you're still speaking of the First World War, not really. By the time WWI rolled around, the "fighting 69th" had become the 165th Infantry. http://www.fighting69th.com/about_tara_hall.htm Isn't Google wonderful? >>> "OJT"? >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Isn't Google wonderful? You gonna believe what some Army bureaucrat came up with, or Jimmy Cagney and Pat O'Brien? http://www.amazon.com/Fighting-69th-James-Cagney/dp/B000MTEFWS SignatureSteve >> By the time WWI rolled around, the "fighting 69th" had become the 165th >> Infantry.

(Unless they're labeled "documentaries", in which case nobody saw them anyway.) -Pete > >> By the time WWI rolled around, the "fighting 69th" had become the 165th > >> Infantry.
