Obviously we're having FUN!!!

 

Reminds me of the late John Allen...anyone remember him?  He made use of dinosaurs on his layout, too.  I remember a stegosaurus named "Emma" featured in a photo of his layout.  Emma was a 'work stegosaurus'.  John was reported to have said that she was "not very smart, but obliging and strong."  And, since his layout featured both standard and narrow gauge lines and the interchange(s) of the same, Emma's 'advantage' was that she could switch both types of cars without regard for gauge.  Hey, made sense to me...back then!!  For all the accolades for his realism, John LOVED adding touches of whimsy.  BTW, Emma was seen in a couple of Varney ads which featured John's Gorre & Daphetid layout. 

 

We (LHS) sell LOTS of dinosaurs of this type.  Dinos NEVER lose their attraction with kids, and as Perry has shown, they can create the sort of 'mayhem' that even Allstate won't insure!!!

 

Nice post.
