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.) |

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. |

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?  |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

I'm shocked and appalled you'd recognize Bevis. its my nickname from a few friends actually. for the life of me i cant remember how it started other than over some beers, so that may answer the question... at least i got the nickname bevis and not butthead! actually have one friend from grad school who is nicknamed butt boy, but that is from him farting a lot... why we didnt call him fart boy escapes me. jeff |

Sadly no, and since it was my first Shinkansen purchase, I should have. My shinkansen was coming from somewhere along the Hakone to Tokyo trip...I just can't remember where along the route we stopped taking the regular train and switched to the shinkansen. I don't even remember which shinkansen we had just stepped off of at Tokyo station to take that picture, but we were late catching the NEX to Narita! I know we took the romance car train to Hakone, but I can't remember what we took on the way back to Tokyo... |

Bernard - She is much "cuter" than you LOL She's extremely cute and very sweet too, she's only 24. At the time we didn't realize that she was the on air talent for one of the Japanese News/Sports stations and we were constantly joking with her. Her whole crew was very nice and her Producer was surprised at how many Japanese past and present Olympic athlete I knew and had done stories on. We all had a great time at the ski jump venue that day. |

The pic was taken on the occasion of my 50th birthday, which my wife and I celebrated by renting a 900 year old cottage in Wales, conveniently located to all those "Great Little Trains of Wales". We toured nearly all of them, actually we missed only the Mt. Snowdon Rlwy. and the standard gauge Llangollen Rlwy. It is really amazing how well kept those trains are.
