For those who have been following the caption 'competition', the winning

The name of the winner is being kept secret to protect the (not so)
innocent!
Two close runners up were:
"I don't ask for much really, but look what I get - sob" and
"Mike's published WHAT?"
Thanks for all you interest.
Here's another challenge. I know many have looked at the 1968 photo of
Cliff.

Can you think of a suitable caption for that photo. Again no monetary
value to the winner but you will get your caption added to the photo.

He said "live frog". I didn't realise we'd have so much trouble
catching the damn things again.

*snicker*
I've thought, on and off for *years* - maybe I'll do it when I resolve my
design problem and get the set up - about the telephone booth that I put on
the side of my western-style station. Lessee, a piece of monofiliment from
there, over a wire up several inches, attached to a weight on that side. On
the tracks, a woman tied to them (monofiliment running under her), and
Snidely Whiplash twirling his mustachios as the train approaches. Train
flips a release... and on the other end of the string, in the phone
booth... ok, two guesses.

Now that may just give Cliff an idea. He absolutely *loves* his gizmos,
even down to the gunfight, with sound and light, on his Virginia and
Truckee layout :-)
I have some photos of that layout which I'll try to post some time next
week.

Yes, but Cliff is taking it all in good part. The competition is still
open until Tuesday 23rd. I'll print them off, show Cliff and then post
the winner on Wednesday. The picture can be seen at
http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p51819376.html
Here are some of the entries so far
"Nyet, Comrade Colonel, ze missile silo's are hidden here, and here...."
My wife gave me an ultimatum, and I chose my train set. ??
He said "live frog". I didn't realise we'd have so much trouble
catching the damn things again.
"Can someone help please? My shirt's caught on the track and there's a
train coming."
"No, I didn't realise my flies were open".
"I know the rest of the hairpiece is around here somewhere"
"I'll bet he really wanted a Futurama."
Dr Who? ;o)
For those interested in 'real' trains I've also posted some photos taken
by South Shore member Brian Gilbert during his recent visit to Canada
and the USA. I've not put names to any locos so if anyone can help
please let me know. Photos start here

Enjoy!
