You survived your trip outdoors!
Ya Doug my battery operated underwear worked great. Got any snow yet?
It’s just getting ready to.
Welcome David
What is lost in the mists of time to new people in the hobby is LSC and MLS started the last time LSOL threw in the towel. We’re all refugees.
I know, that was before I joined. There was some “tension” between LSOL and MLS. Thats why I phased my first post the way I did.
Ok I’ll bite… What is an Infamous Leg Lamp?

It’s a major award. 
I’m assuming it’s the one from the movie “A Christmas Story”
You can buy your own…though I can’t imagine why anyone would want it…
I dunno…have to Ask David M…Shannon Car Shops…Home of the Infamous LEg Lamp…

Yes, I was “awarded” the Leg lamp, a smaller version then the one you posted a picture of, at an ECLSTS LSOL banquet. It sits on my bookshelf. I figure it was a “badge of shame” so I proudly display the thing.

That story needs a bit of additional background.
It’s still intact and not broken!
Ok, back when I was a new member to LSOL, and I had entered 3 scratch-built Billmeyer and Small passenger cars in the model contest, plus the kit-bashed Forney that pules those cars. So the comment was that I “had too much time on my hands, and that I needed a little leg.” Then I was “presented” with the leg lamp.
Beautiful set of cars!
Yea, what he said!..
Those are very nice. Do you have any pictures of the construction?
Oh yea, I have pictures of the construction. I guess my next task is to upload the pictures.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.
Ok, I have uploaded the pictures. They aren’t in order, but most of them are in my gallery. I tried to not upload the duplicates.

Very nice cars! and someone had a good sense of humour.
Those are awesome cars man! Welcome Aboard
Thank you, thank you.
David, Welcome Aboard!
I still have a copy of your article on hand painting the lettering rolling stock. Great article. I have never been able to match your quality.
