Catenary remover. This tool is very handy for removing wanted, or unwanted
trolley wire and catenary. Hey, this is Tyco, who needs the stuff anyways?
Just pretend it's there.
I tried mailing him to BNSFIA, but strangely he didn't want it. Came back
with return postage requested.

I have that accessory too! Meet Brewster, he keeps my lap warm while I do research and write posts for my Plug Door Rebuilding Project.

This tool is designed to wait until you're in the middle of delicately painting a model with a tiny paint brush. It then disrupts focus and brings a fallout of stray fur by jumping into the modellers lap. Terrible invention.

A marvelous display of Canadian accessories! Brewster has the coolest green eyes.
Strenchin's cat appears even lazier than mine. I did not know that was possible.

Rather pleased with this old piece. The little man pops out the door quite fluidly.
The pressure activation doesn't work well. Should I bypass it and hook it up to
a door bell ringer for manual activation or try to fool with it? Undecided.

This is actually Brewster's "Give me belly rubs" pose, he apparently hasn't gotten the memo that cats don't allow tummy touching!
Here is another picture of him with a "friend" he would like to have for dinner!
Don't worry though, Brewster is strictly an indoor cat now!

| Your kitties are cute but I have an 80lb boxer that loves to put his head up under my arm or nudge me in the crotch just as I am about to place a delicate part on to a model.

In keeping with the feline theme, here is a picture of Aunt Millie's kitties on my layout...

The grey kitty is laying on its back, just like Brewster in his "pat my tummy" pose.
OR
The grey kitty is rolling on its back to scratch his back.
At any rate, Aunt Millie (who is sweeping the porch) doesn't seem concerned so the kitty must be ok.

Maybe the kitty is dead and aunt Millie is going to sweep it into the flowers.

Maybe Aunt Mitsy, or Tilly, just hit him with broom and he is expiring...

NO! The kitty is happy and enjoying a good roll, I know this because I am the modeler who created the scene therefor I am the final authority on this subject.

You obviously have never had a cat as a pet to be making a statement like this!

Yes, I believe Srenchin is correct. My cats like to roll
in the dirt also, and then climb into bed with me.
Little rotters.

On the subject of cats. My 90 year old lady friend passed away on March 15th. I brought all 5 of her cats and a rooster & his chicken friend to my place. I have 4 wonderful kitties that I need to find good homes for. I'm going to keep one of them, or all of them if I can't find homes for them...

Try Craig's List local. I had one extra kitty who was a
bit hard to get adjusted to, and him to us. I found him
a good, safe home within hours.
I once rather enjoyed raising chickens. Nothing like
super fresh eggs.

Good idea , Jeff. The chickens ended up going to Maryland with a niece of the lady who passed away. The rooster was soo cool that he had his own Facebook page! (George Mambourg) Good home for them!
Will do the Craigslist idea soon...
