Ralphg I was thinking since i am almost done with mine I could build a second MOW car. A rooster chasing car. What do you think? Then I can label it KFC
You think that would fit into the MOW car. Every line needs something to get rid of that dam rooster.

hello all!
i'm newly registerd to this siding of the track. (been lurking for some years...)
maybe one or two here remember me from the other forums, we all frequent.
i registerd, because yesterday i saw a pic of a mobile(modern) railroad-outhouse somewhere - and today i read this challenge here.
since then i got an image of an old-style wildwest outhouse car before my inner eye.
i'll build it anyhow. and if the idea fits in, you can sign me up for this challenge.

Southern & Gulf R.R. We build for eternity! (so, why should we hasten?)
