Hobo Jungle

[2railjon]

Tramp, I was going to say Mamba's which I believe are the deadliest of South African snakes. OK, now I see your autograph. I was staring for it till my eyes were crossed! You signed it in pencil and have to hold the label at an angle to see it. Very nice artwork, thanks again, i'll re-post when I get the billboard built.

Frank!!! LOL! It's the only 6464 boxcar I ever liked!!

If you heard your phone ringing, that was Tramp. I've been painting figures all afternoon--1/48 scale--and needed a break. I decided I wanted my B&M cars full up. Ever paint a beard? You gotta be the best figure painter ever. I shoulda sent these to you to paint, but I need a few with clothes.

LOL, Tramp! The wife was online doing taxes!! Sorry I missed you're call. I actually can paint clothes ya'know!!! Send me a handful, really. jon

Here's an email from Tramp that's worth sharing!!! These women are hot!!!

Actually, the chick in the foreground looks kind of pregnant, wonder if "Pete was here"?

[San Diegan]

She's just Rubinesque, Jon. There is something about those railroad uniforms, though. I assume they are wearing appropriate foundation garments.

What do you think the one with the kettles (lantern oil?) is saying?

What do you think the one with the kettles (lantern oil?) is saying?

"WHAT! That sonofabitch told me it was Gabrial's horn, so I blew it!"

[2railjon]

Then again you had posters that did'nt really care much for railroads!

[Tramp]

Amalie, are you around? I want to order my book, but I can't find the link. This Jungle moves so damn fast it's like a speeding train.

I can relate to the woman on the railroad as I remember my dad commenting on it.
The womens lib thing had just started in the late 50's on the railroad and dad got a woman brakeman. The new F3's had started a train too fast and pulled a drawbar and it was close to the caboose. She was the rear brakeman and dad gave her a drawbar to take to the car to replace. She couldn;t lift it and filed a harrasment suit against dad with the railroad. Dad was conductor and that was brakemans work. The word brakewoman did not exist in the trainmans vocabulary.
She was gone the next week and they never saw her again. Certain jobs are just not for women, and of course all the trainmen were mad about the women anyway. they were supposed to stay home and raise the kids. Dave Roxin.

Jon, I think you've made a great choice. Ask, San. He's a Berk driver himself.


Hey, don't think I'm any crack shot or anything. It was just luck, but at least I had one perfect score, right?

[2railjon]

San, I'll pass on the mambo!!!
Tramp, the credit is all yours!! I just hope I never get too old or proud to ask for advice!!! It's gonna be sweet!! Let me buy the first round, guys, oops, and ladies too.
