The scenery and the equipment are beautiful!

I really like that Santa Fe GP60M, just don't have room for it at the moment.  Very realistic modeling on that prickly pear!  ;)

Yes he modeled the thorns too.  He used nose hair for them.

Cool stuff Shane.Is that Cactus a noxious weed up there.It got real bad down here  in Australia (introduced) back in the early 1900's.Ruined a lot of good farming country.They introduced a moth to eat it,seemed to do a good job.

Reminds me of an off color joke I heard years ago:

Whats the difference between a cactus and a law school?  Well, one of them has hundreds of annoying pr*cks. 

On the outside.

Hah hah.  What's the defnitions of a crying shame?  A bus full of laywers heading off a cliff ... with one empty seat.  My excuse, I have 2 sisters and a brother-in-law, who are all lawyers, and a nephew in law school.

Interesting layout...
