Hi Steve -
Please see the last photo on [
ngdiscussion.net]. Be sure to cover your eyes when scrolling past the first two, though, as there's some kind of capsaicin-guzzling lost wanderer in both of them, as well as at least two (2, count 'em, 2) former East German BahnLiebHaber.
* And be sure to turn the sound way down or off, too, as I have heard that said wanderer has been known to answer the sound of a steam whistle by yodeling in Japanese.

p.s. SFAIK, due to the present economic slump, development of the Photoshop Chainsaw Plug-in has been indefinitely postponed. However, I once heard a rumor while chasing
DampfLokomitven in the Black Forest that soaking five Triple Chocolate Yellow-Cakes in capsaicin-infused Arrogant Bastard Ale, having twin green-skinned former virgins arrange them in a pentagram on a pyre of old railroad ties, and then yodeling continuously while they burn until the last ember fades can be used to invoke the ancient Germanic/Norse God
Ur-Biber - the shape-changing European cousin of Kokopeli - who is said to take the form of a giant dark-olive-green beaver with an unquenchable appetite for Aspen trees seasoned with sage and pine. If you can talk Roger into making the penultimate sacrifice, that
could solve the problem for all of us

* These latter have proven over the past four or five decades to be considerably more sane and considerate of their fellow zugfanatiker than many of their West German cousins.
