HO Scale Layout
This is my HO Scale layout. It is small but works well. I have had a blast doing this!

Got a yard full of cars.

A Class 2-6-0 Steamer.

A probably 50yr. old Italian-made switcher.

Uh-Oh! Amtrak wrecking train.

My BN F7 made by Bachman.

My Fish
Here is my fish that I caught. It is a Grass Carp. It was over 25lbs. and it was around 3' long. I was at a community pool with my friend and we saw the carp as he got hooked. As I was fighting him everyone came out of the pool to see what I had. When they didn't see a fish they went back in and 10 minutes later came out to once more find out that I was still wearing him out. They went into the pool again and came out 10 minutes later to find I was just landing it. I had to heave him over a fence which a barely did. After that everyone got to touch him and then I released him. He floated on the top of the water for a minute or two. Then he swam away.

Hi,
I've been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy! I had company for 2 weeks, started Middle School, went to Disney World, went on vacation for 2 weeks, and have been at friend's houses. I'll get onto posting as soon as I have time. But I will post pictures of my fish seperately by tommorow.

My trip to see some reptiles.

Today I went to the St. Augustine, FL Alligator farm and I took 2 pictures of the animals there as mom used the rest for us.
This is one of the 2 Albino Alligators.
And this is my favorite, the Gharial or the Gavial. They had 3 of them and 2 Maylaysian ones but this one was about 8-10 ft. long. His teeth are about 1-2 inches long!

Also I got to touch and feel a 12ft. long Burmeyse Python. (I don't know if that's spelled right.)
