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.

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.

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
