For this week, my AOTW is a Garden Railway Convention pin from 2001 that I got at a train show from a guy that just randomly gave it to me. Just now, my family is getting into garden railroading which I'll post our first garden railroad set in the SOTW section. Now, onto the picture!

John, what are the two hand painted figures doing on the bridge(s)?

Glenn,
I never noticed those before. I was impressed when i saw a couple of these bridges on a layout. I think I found these at hobby lobby, so they have never been out of the box. They are at the new house now so I cannot look.
Fishing?
Regards, John

"...that's why Campbell's Soup is..."
My first post of an accessory of the week:
I got a sticker that says almost the same... "Any Time Is Train Time"
John
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

My AOTW is a Tyco boxcar unloader, box is a bit raggedy, but at least it has the crates with it. I know I have 4-5 of these cars loose, but I knew I had ONE set in a box with some crates still. Of course those crates will be the first thing to get lost. But I got some to make copies off, eventually.

Clementine set with a extra dump & car!
Since Clementine only had a steam train
How would a Tyco GP20 look with Clementine on it?

Why not? Nothing about Clementine that requires steam power.

 You could have it take place in an alternate timeline where the Clementine became a major railroad and existed to the point in time when GP20s existed.
