Visiting John's M&O

I had a chance to visit the M&O last night and brought a bunch of Railwire related stuff. I bet some of you may recognize a good bit of the equipment I ran. It reminded me of how many friends I've made through this dumb forum, and how lucky I am to have met so many of you.

His layout is looking really good...

John's efforts on scenery lately have been paying off dividends

I know. I almost pulled the loads out, but I've left messes of John's layout before in the past, so didn't want to rock the boat TOO much. lol.

I also went! Great layout, like all the signal logic he programmed.

Surprised CSX let Cody run steam.  Should have had it loaded on a flatcar to keep the lawyers happy.

Nice job, Cory! Now's the part where @seusscaboose will tell you about what happened the time he made me weather a fleet of meat refers (it was a sausage train) using ONLY powders.

Long story short, I moved to Pittsburgh and have his face on my toilet seat.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
