Manic Monday


This is my first Manic Monday post. For it I have included a picture of a "sprung frog". It is as you can see part of a railroad track and is basically the diverging point between tracks that change the direction of the train. This one happens to have a big spring that holds it in place as the train goes through the switch.

Yay for Mike on Manic Monday! :)
I knew that there had to be some way you could tie this week's theme to trains!

Great post.

Looking at pictures like this make me panic...lol. I will sit and look at it and be blown away by how this stuff works and it always seems like it should be more complicated somehow. I do the same thing with rollercoasters. I fear things looking old and rusty. I know... I'm weird :)

Great job. I didn't know this, so it was a learning experience for me. Happy MM.

Welcome to Manic Monday, Mike. Very well done. I love learning new things. My Dad was a railroad man for many years, so anything railroad appeals to my heart.

I was curious. You love model trains and such right. I think to you have a train set up in your house and does it have track swithches or our you just into real trains Mike? Just wondering. I haven't been around your blog all that much. I think about 2 months but then time flies and it could be I have been around here for 6. Sorry I am rambling. Gads guess I better go get some lunch. Blood sugar is low. ~Callie~
