It's sad that some books go out of print before they ever find their home. One of my favorite books is the Fiddletown & Copperopolis by Carl Fallberg. He was a former assistant director and storyman on Walt Disney feature-length animated cartoons, and his illustrated book about the fictitious Fiddletown & Copperopolis (“The Line of Least Resistance”) was a great and funny read, if you can find it.
Love this very Good All welcome perhaps we should ask to have the topic changed once again to Model Railroad Humour!
Jeff's pictures did not show for me. Latest version of Chrome on Win10. I tried http and https to no avail. But, I was able to right click, copy image address and then paste that on to another tab in Chrome. Viola! Weird!

A member of my NMRA division familiar with my layout is an engineer for Iowa Interstate and makes daily runs between Bureau Jct and the TZPR Yards (former Peoria and Pekin Union Rwy). Every time I see him, he says he still hasn't found the helices I've modeled, but he promises he'll keep looking.
Yeah? Well don't cut a frog into their tracks for a crossing. Their trains will crush yours like bugs. People who drive pipsqueak trains should never throw the first stone. Of course, I don't have a dog in this fight. Just a word to the wise.
