From Christmas '89, back when my son was 2. On the back of the control box is a 3 pin voltage regulator that I used to give better speed control over the variable resistor type controller that came with the set. Trains would maintain constant speed going up or down hills

You know how you download someone's picture,
because you think it will make a great background,
and then you can't remember who you took it from to credit them......

So, I was reviewing my Flickr stats and I noticed that I never got back to the story on this picture, like I promised. And in order to tell the story, I decided I needed this picture.
I had picked as a random destination on the Plains the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve just outside of Strong City, KS. Little did I realize that the "prairie" is actually in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Anyway, this is the sunrise from the welcome center-type area at the Preserve. Actually, I climbed the hill that the Big House sits on to get this shot because -- unbeknownst to me -- the welcome center was still under construction.
(The Preserve's web site will help make sense of it all.)
So this was what I got for the sunrise. Kind of "meh" but indicative of the place. And while it looks clear, the rest of the sky was covered in a cloud layer. And that's where I'll pick up the good part of this story.
