I'm in the jungle examining this movie frame by frame. The stunt is not done the way it appears while watching it.

Image

There are a few things in the movie that Tramp did not have the luxury of having.
1) There is a path for the actor to run down.
2) There is a handle for the actor to grab at the doorway.
3) There is a Tramp-oline for the actor to bounce off of.
4) There are bars under the boxcar that do not belong. Do they hold a net to
prevent the actor from going under the car if he slips?

OK. That's it. It was a Hollywood stunt, not the way real hobos do it.
I'm catching the next freight to Gomer's. See ya there.

Wayne,

I think you are one of them thar CSI guys who likes trains.

I'm sure it's nice to know how to do some of the stuff that you come up with.

Now I don't need to know because we got you to do it. 8) 8) :) :)

Oh, hi Roger. How long you been at Gomer's? Have I a lot of catching up to do?

You know, we are both old (I'm 67.) This instant jumping from place to place is a little disconcerting to an old guy.
I was just in the Jungle and now I am at Gomer's, like instantly. Makes my head swim. Does it affect you the same
way?

Wayne,

Oh yeah.I just got to Gomers after writing a rambling,confusing post somewhere and I need something quick.

I'm 75 and have noticed that with my body and brain[?] if it doesn't hurt it is slowing down.

One thing that I feel a need for is to speed up the scenery work on my layout.I would like for it to be fairly complete while I can still enjoy it.

Have you considered this stuff?

It looks like it will build cliffs 29 inches a pop with little painting needed.

Wayne,

Thanks.I got most of my scenic materials from that company because they were cheaper,including s&h,than any stores in my area.I had not seen that stuff.

What about you Pete? How did you come up with this:

Even if you saw the movie, they used movie tricks to keep you from seeing how it was done.

If I wake up tomorrow and they're all sh*tting on my car, "The Dirt's Free Range Turkeys" is going to open for business sooner than planned!

That headless turkey in the middle of the last pic, he's special. They keep him surrounded so he doesn't get lost. That one will cost you double.

Hev, what pic did you put on here now? I can't see the pic. I'll check it out at midnight.

Wayne, those Mennonite ladies are... uh... must be good cooks. :wink:
Hev's got some private shots of some hot Amish babes. Doubt he'll share them though.

Pete,

Your Turkeys caught my interest. I googled, "Turkey Futures" to see if I wanted to invest in your Turkey Project.
I got a zillian hits on, "Retire to Turkey, live on your SS." If you liked those Mennonite ladies you would love the
Turkish ladies published on one site to lure me to Turkey. Their cooking must be really good.
