I'm "almost" sorry I read... ...this post. I wasn't gonna reply but, then I realized I could toss in a good line I heard- "It's OK, I have my big girl panties on now". Marksign1

Lemme' tell ya... ...a few episodes of late with Mr. Coffee. The night before I did all the prep. Rinsed pot, new filter, coffee- forgot to turn on the timer. You'd think it would be just- Poop, no coffee, I forgot to turn on the coffee. NO! I took the pot, carafe (ugh) from the maker and...

Do you breakdown... the A-B-B-A sets to count as 4 locos? Or just as A/A-B because that'll make the count change by, let's see- I have 3 sets of A-B-B-As alone.:eek: I just made a list- I need help. Not enough fingers and toes. Mark:mrgreen:

I was sitting at the computer this morning and was awaiting the arrival of the morning coffee train. It usually gets into the pot before I make it down the stairs (modern convenience of built-in timers). Well, sometimes I skip preparing a pot the night before and have to make it on the fly. The...

Hi Paul, welcome aboard. Be sure to enjoy yourself here. Mark

Oh, and as your thread suggests, no diner cars- good reason to open Harvey Houses and employ the Harvey Girls in any station or what would have been the start of 'em. Your passenger trains might demand a station stop for hot food! Mark (again)

I'm running with Mountain Man- golden. Mark

I wanted to look up an address for my wife's business. I went over to Google- added the appropriate information. When the map came up there was a new button- "Street View". Well there I cyber-was. On that street with a panning view of the location. Astounding! I pick myself- being iconized...

Looks good... ...and it's an inspiration. I intend to replicate a similar type building of the Reading Terminal in Philadelphia. There's a huge train shed but I am going to compress it way down and build in a lot of compromise. I just want the flavor of a large train shed and terminal...

You guys are... ...freaking me out man! Vita-Testors-veta-vegamin!!! Which one works? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:eek: Mark Sorry for the hysterics.

G to F and A to B? Hey, it looks like it's going somewhere. All that room- aye c'rumba, este es un largo. Que bueno. Mark:)

Gee and I thought it was all done with smoke and mirrors.

I would think bumpers... ...as I've seen them used are at the end of "terminal" tracks (tracks that terminate, end) where you really don't want a train to travel any further- like at a a passenger terminal and freight yards. The wheel stops are portable- movable devices used to keep the wheels...

Has anyone used, "He's come off the rails"?

We had 100% clear skies- the stars sparkled, the moon went rose colored and we just enjoyed the universe. The bitter cold was almost a delight in challenging us to stand and gaze, almost. It did keep us in the mood tho'. We're headed for Long beach Island, NJ for a winter weekend. I believe...

Okay- just to set the record straight... ...it is pronounced Jeep. Now since that is settled... It's MCL - just like ya see it, M - C - L. Manayunk Canal Line. Next! Mark JEEP GP Gee P

Did you ever feel like... ...you were talking to yourself and no one was listening? It is GeeP! Gheep? I think not. Who ever it was that was trying to educate you so you wouldn't sound the fool- is a fool. Gee P- General Purpose. Gheeesh! G+P = Jeep I keep tryin' to learn ya's...

Last summer I went to a wedding... ...in Scranton, PA. I did find the train museum and took several photos but what we found on the other side of town- just a block away from the working train station was Coney Island Texas Lunch. Been in operation since 1923. The original owner's kid sold it...

"He's like a freight train outta control"! Then there's- "He's a train wreck". I personally like- "That's a train wreck waiting to happen"! Mark

Not to be a... ...rivet counter but I think, "Full steam ahead." is a steamship era phrase. That doesn't mean this thread will "run out of track". Mark:mrgreen:
