Re: Who IS 'The Troll'?? ...

Hi, Jason -

Funny you should ask!   AKA 'The JéBeeWex',* his / its name has been mentioned recently
in conjunction with the DVD that Greg Scholl has offered to all sponsors supporting the 40th
Anniversary Tribute Train honoring the Summer of 1970 Volunteers who gave so unselfishly of
their time and energy to rescue and resuscitate the Narrow Gauge Over Cumbres in its time of
greatest need - see [ngdiscussion.net].

Here's a photo taken surreptitiously on 05/25/10 by the Swiss paparazzo Urias von Meyenberg that shows The Troll / JéBeeWex near its new home at Trolltec Gorge**, attempting to hide his/its identity beneath a Dark Olive Green Boiler Jacket Baseball Cap and matching D.O.G. Shirt.  The bearded Curmudgeon further to the right is that notorious DünkelOlivGrunDampfKesselMantelLiebhaber, Russo de los Locos:


- El Curmudgeono de la Costa del Oro

 * Just as butterflies should not be mistaken for moths, the JéBeeWex is NOT to be confused with another species entirely, the infamous JayBoWack ...  

** As noted elsewhere, the Troll's once beautiful oak-paneled and beam-ceilinged home at milepost 287.50 had succumbed to neglect and decay over the past half-century, and was replaced recently by a steel structure of modern tubular design. Even after careful repainting by friends using (mostly) genuine D&RGW Dark Olive Green Boiler Jacket Enamel Urethane, the new dwelling was too bright for the JéBeeWex' sensitive eyes, and he / it has migrated nearly 30 miles westward to a shadowy new den hidden in a side passage within the 'Rock Tunnel' at Trolltec Gorge:
"Reliquite Spem Omnes Qui Entrasis Hac" - or something to that effect.  I'm confident that Jackelopette will offer an appropriate correction upon perusal of this missive ...
