Model Railroading > Texas girls are Livin' Large too

Check out the "generator" on the end of the train

FYI I have changed my former "argyleeagle" handle since I no longer live in
Argyle, TX. This one was given to me in 8th grade. I played safety on our
8th grade football team and one game there was a fumble by the other team,
the ball got kicked around in total chaos, I finally picked it up and ran the
wrong way about 30 yards until I realized what was happening, then gained back
about 10 yards our way.

Even though I recovered the fumble for OUR TEAM, our coach was furious and benched
me the rest of the game. Needless to say my teammates had a lot of fun with me after
that and fondly gave me this nickname. I was glad for high school graduation just so
the name would get a reset. It has only taken me 50 years to accept it again......

Didn't Jim Marshall of the Vikings do this, but went the entire way?
