YES!!!!!
It is true and I nearly fainted and my eyes glazed over when Dad
came home from his Wednesday Train Day. Dad is a Train Brain.
He builds them, he reads about them and he plays with them
but not Lionel trains. His train of choice is O Scale, brass.
After everyone is finished oooooooh and ahhhhhhhhh over the next picture, I'll tell you the rest of the story.
Below you will see a My Whisker in a national O Scale Train Magazine.....September/October 2010
My WHISKER is disguised as a CB antenna.
On Wednesday Dad's train club meets at a friend's house. He has an entire railroad layout in his basement that replicates the Tehachapi Pass in Californa. The guys run their trains on his railroad layout. In return for his generosity, they often help him with different things on his layout. In this particular scene, the person taking a picture is portraying Mr. J and his black Suburban. Mr. J is also has CB in his car. As they were setting up the scene, he said it is too bad I couldn't find a car with an antenna on it. The men ponder this a moment when lo and behold my Dad said Madi leaves whiskers galore all over the house. Would a cat whisker work? Mr. J said it just might be purrfect. So the next week Dad took in several of my stray whiskers AND OMC it fit right on the bumper and is the purrfect scale for the car. Mr. J submitted an article to the O Scale Magazine about his layout along with pictures.
Needless to say, Mom and I are thrilled to know one of my whiskers is a Star...we just hope
it doesn't forget its humble beginnings and the folks who made it what it is today.

I used to have a really cool O gauge train set - until a neighbor's kid destroyed it. I was devastated. I do still have a great Lionel set I rec'd for Christmas the year I was 4. Dang, that thing's old now! BTW, your whisker is purrfect there!
