After a few layout problems got my Bachmann G running around the Christmas tree and proudly called in grandsons for a grand introduction. There comments were, "Look a sidewalk!," "Papa where's the whistle?" "What's it's name?" "Papa it has to have a name!" "Why can't Thomas and Henry ride on track?" "I want to push the train!" "Papa your train doesn't have a face." "Nana where are the marshmallows?". Merry Christmas to all

As I explained earlier my disability limits my skills a bit but after realizing a snake shaped track wasn't a good idea it went pretty well. Now if I only had a whistle. Thanks again

Blow your own horn
Wiley:
You should be able to get a little square wooden railway whistle at your hobby shop or toy shop. Trick will be confining your grandkids to blowing it in the train room.
By all means, give it a name.
Tell the kids that the engines only have faces on the island of Sodor -- on the mainland they disappear. (Check the original Thomas books for this.)

The title for this thread is kinda funny if you think about the program they show on TV around this time. You know its about a kid named Ralphy (Ralphie?) that wants a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas. And when he tells every one (including Santa) that all he ever wants is the BB gun, they tell him "You'll shoot your eye out!"
That's our favorite quote/response when our kids ask us to buy them something we don't want them to have... no matter what it is..
Ex.: You don't want that $50.00 doll -- you'll shoot your eye out!! ROFL they always get the message that they ain't gonna get it from us..
The -- BTTFIII "Time machine" quote is really a good sig.

Thanks N Gauger!
I got the idea to add the BTT3 quote on my sig cause frankly Doc did steal that loco.
Wiley, that lamp was a leg lamp, Ralphs dad "won" it as a prize. Then his mother broke it cause she didn't like it. To quote her: "That's the ugliest lamp I have ever seen in my life!"
