I have only traveled west a handful of times in my life. While I like to travel, for some reason I like to use the Mississippi river as a west boundary. Guess the land is just too big for me out there! Anyhow, my step dad is taking us on this ski vacation (isnt that NICE?) and I dont want to...

I agree with supporting the mom and pop shops- plus you pay for the expertise. I do shop at ours, however, I do not have the money an dthats where big business gets us. For example (and this is an entirely different can of worms) I hate the Walmart business practices, but there have been times...

well most of the british stuff comes to us OO scale it seems... but I think if you're not going for prototypical, or exacts its okay. I figure you can do whatever you want. It runs on HO track (according to everyone I have talked to)

Wow, this makes for an awesome "virtual" scavenger hunt idea! What sad sad pics huh? I mean seriously, clean em up enough to haul to a local park and lat the kids see em. We have a ocuple of parks around here with old trains and the kids love them!

our hobby lobbys are pretty well stiocked with the stuff and the clearance is pretty good too. DONT FORGET TO PRINT THE COUPONS when they come out. They post 40% off reg price coupons often on their website and you can print tons of them. Just take a friend or go to a different cashier every...

Ok, I looked it up and its quite a ways... too far to ask the entire family to go while we are there, is there something there??? In case we travel westward again???

Honestly, I dont know. I guess I could look on a map. I think we're flying into Denver and Keystone is in the Vail (or is it Vale?) Area...

We'll be at Keystone Jan 28-Feb 1. Wondering if there is something wonderful related to trains we must see if we need a break from the slopes (which I suspect with a 4 year old). Anyone?:D

oooooooh. I read in the character gallery, "Thomas is a cheeky, but helpful 0-6-0 tank engine from the LB & SCR Railway in Southern England. " Thats why I picked the engine above. We're talking about the bachmann one coming out- EMily

I think this is the "real" thomas:

He's in bed :sleeping: he's already seen the "real" Thomas. Are you kidding? It was 96degrees and 100% humidity at 4pm on that Sept 11. And he dressed in his Thomas overalls and engineer hat anyway. He's somewhat fanatical/
