Timpo Time#8 'The Iron Horse'

Of course it was only a matter of time before the stagecoach was superseded by something altogether more reliable and faster, in this case the 'Iron Horse'.  This one was the Timpo 'Prairie Rocket' and needs a bit of tender loving care to restore it to its form glory.  It has a tender but sadly a battery has leaked in there at some point in the past.  I managed to reunite this one with its crew and guard but at the moment they have come under attack from a roving band of Apaches, clearly not best pleased at the White Mans' shameless acquisition of their land.


Just when the crew and guard of the 'Prairie Rocket' feel they have got the upper hand, additional support arrives for the Timpo Apache Indians, summoned by smoke signal and a quick prayer to the Gods of war.


Finally got it to smoke!

    Now Paul please stay calm there are only a few posts left! That said I'm delighted that the Timpo is sparking so many childhood memories.

    Ray, dig it out of the loft; it may help fin ace future projects!

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My site has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen? I'd
    definitely appreciate it.
