Watch it people. You are getting dangerously close to getting the ASPCA and Animal Cruelty after you.
At the same time, Rusty almost saved my passenger train. I was going through a crossover with the train when he suddenly started to yell. Too late I hit the brakes. The train split the switch and the E-8, Model Power, and the following F-7's, Penn Line, went one way, and the passenger cars, mostly Rivarossi, scattered all over. Yup, my fault. I usually add graphite lubricant to the switch mechanisms on a timely basis to lubricate the motor mechanisms and moveable parts on the switch, turnout, but I must have missed this one. After cleaning up the train, and lubricating the errant switch, problem solved. I guess that his yell made me hit the brakes, but not in time. I now call him my Junior Engineer, even though in Cat years, he is older than myself.
As I might have mentioned in earlier posts, all of my Vista Domes have scratch built interiors, in the domes, including people, HO gauge. One concern was that none of the fixtures or people broke loose from the interiors of the Vista Domes. Fortunately the clear adhesive, cement, that my local hobby shop in San Dimas provided did a marvelous job, no failures.
