Wear a black-turtleneck covered in white paper confetti.

 

Wear clothes five sizes too big.

 

Wear a hula-hoop. Use it.

Tony, when you're rich and famous, you can afford a better fashion adviser! 

 

( Only joking Don, I like your suggestions.)

[ToniBabelony]

I'm gonna go shopping in Rotterdam today, so I'll see what kinda cool stuff I can find.

 

Also, I already feel rich and famous. It's just not my true life, so I just turn on one of my favourite tunes for you guys:

At the hotel during the Fall 2008 Rockville Lion's Club Train Show for the JRM.

 

PS: I've lost thirty pounds since that photo, so the towel would not stay up on it's own now.

 

Suddenly I find myself on the verge of leaving these forums...

 

Never said I wasn't wearing pants under the towel.

 

 

Taken last week in Osaka, Jp inside a DF50.

Aaron nice photo, but who took the photo? 

[Guest ___]

I used the remote timer on the D2Hs. I did another shot in the cab of a 0-series shinkansen but the autofocus decided that it rather focus on something else closer resulting in a blurred me. I did not catch how soft that image was on the LCD until I got home.

Nice pic Aaron, you remind of a Inspecteur Clouseau dressed like that. Were you feeling a bit frenchy that day? 

[Guest ___]

My mother said the same thing. I typically wear a black cap (or unionist cap) but it gets in the way of the viewfinder so I turned it 45 degrees so it looks like a beret. The coat, well, it was raining, and raining and raining. All it did from the 22nd until the 28th was rained it seemed. Even on the one sunny day I had it rained.

[Guest ___]

Well that beats having a Gogo ray, "Can't stop... doing the... moneky..."

Me in '0' series at Omi Railway Park in 1990.

Left my comfortable shirt at home this morning. Had to go to a consignment shop anyway, so bought another cheap, comfortable shirt. Then realized I was dressed in JNR colors:

Mark & Alvin (Westfalen) since you both work for the Australian RR, have you two ever met?

BTW, Mark I like your 2nd photo, very funny.

I don't think we have. We are roughly 700 km apart as the crow flies, or about 980 km as the train runs.

 

Photos of me at 'work' seem hard to find. Here I am a few years ago before I moved up to the front end of the train.

[Guest ___]

See, the aussies have full size trains like us, not those little ones like in Japan.

[westfalen]

Still no pictures of me at work, but here's the guy who taught me how to drive trains.

No, not yet. It's been a long time since I visited Brisbane, but if I were to head up that way I'd certainly get in touch with Alvin and arrange a get-together.

 

BTW, Mark I like your 2nd photo, very funny.

 

There's a bit of a story to that. In my depot the nickname for SSR is "Same Sex Railway", and my mate who took the photo was paying out on me. Also, I'm not a great fan of working on GM/EMD locos, so he was giving me a hard time about that as well!  

 

All the best,

 

Mark.

Yeah, but we have little trains as well. 

 

 

I'm at Puffing Billy with my mate Allan, who is a driver there. The engine is a 2' 6" gauge 2-6-2T, built by the VR Newport Workshops to a Baldwin design. They're very capable engines, but this one is even more so, as it has been fitted with a Lempor front-end.

 

All the best,

 

Mark.

Does anyone really "work" when they're in the middle?  I never did!

 

All the best,

 

Mark.

Reminds me of some of our driver trainers!
