    Amusing Observation

    Rob, Let us know how your little poll comes across.:thumb: Les, I'll have to pay more attention to the Hunt trailers. I'd like to get a photo of the sticker. (btw, my Mother retired from Chrysler Highland Park HQ years and years ago after 22 years of service)

    Amusing Observation

    Open wide, Here comes the Choo Choo... Wooooo Woooooo. Funny they have probably NEVER seen or heard a Hudson or a Pacific at the local grade crossing or anywhere else besides old movie reruns. But Trains still go choo choo. If Mom ever came off with the sound of a 3 or 5 chime, the poor...

    Hello from michigan

    Then Florida isn't the palce for you. I'm just recently put on a fixed income and ACK!!! It's a rip-off-the-tourist state. The daily cost of existing (not living) here is outrageous. I'm seriously looking at leaving the USA for Central America, where a dollar goes a bit farther. Family has kept...

    I moved to Florida. Got sick of the single digit temps in the winter. So you're a Zug Island guy eh?

    I remember sitting in the Theater watching many of those. How The West Was Won and Lawrence Of Arabia were memorable AND they had trains in them. You need to at least model hank's house. At least the alley with Boomhouer, Bill and Dale all standin' round the cooler. Maybe Cotton hollerin' at...

    Use a "dab" of rubber cement on the posters and marquee. Then you'll be able to peel them off and change them without too much trouble. Hmmm... Propane deliveries to Strickland Propane? ;)

    1974 or later... RHPS (Rocky Horror Picture Show) still plays at matinees and night showings to this day. Mongo is a cult hero so why not have it on the marquee in say 1985 Nice work there. Oh, and who said you could borrow my Cobra.:twisted: Scoot

    Iam home at last.

    No matter what, you always feel better in your own home. Dorothy was right, "There's No Place Like Home." Enjoy the comfort and let your body and spirit get on with it's task of healing itself. Scoot

    harbinger of sad things to come?

    I sympathize with Shamus and understand what he's going through. I've just been diagnosed with Emphysema (COPD) and then 10 days after that wonderful news I suffered a heart attack. Sounds like he has some of the depression that I get so often because of wanting to do so much but the body...

    YOUR Freelance Road?

    What an OUTSTANDING Idea. Rolling stock from other peoples roads running on your layout. Anyone here feel up to compiling a list of members freelanced road names, rolling stock inventories and numbers, not to mention industry held cars? (hmmm, now this is looking like work). ;) But it is a...

    38 And I May Have A Bad Ticker

    GREAT NEWS Cannonball. Good for you!. Now shed a few of those pounds and PLEASE do everything you can to put the smokes down. I used to smoke like a chimney. I quit just before all of my health troubles. That's what made me so upset. I should have quit years ago. Hind sight is 20/20. I...

    Mac Users?

An old Performa in the back shop (i rarely use it anymore), a G4 PowerMac (in the shop) and a G4 iMac (at...

    Are your trains an escape?

    Escape? I'm hoping so. I've just recently been classed as "disabled". I can't tell you how much I HATE that word. My recent diagnosis of Emphysema and then the follow up heart attack have still got me cooling my heals. I go October 17 for my 6 month review by my Doctor at which time I'm hoping...

    38 And I May Have A Bad Ticker

    I won't go in to the politics of 6 and 7 digit salaries for the big-wigs and then the 6 figure bonuses' they receive or the RECORD profits. they're OBSCENE, all at the expense of the working dog. They don't "Work" they just push paper and buy another Lexus or third home that they'll never live...

    38 And I May Have A Bad Ticker

    Medicine costs:curse: *deep breath scoot, keep the blood preassure under control* The Spiriva is $199.00 for a 30 day supply at the local CVS. There are loopholes in the import meds law. My Doc writes the scripts and I order them "offshore". If customs grabs them, they send me a letter and I...

    38 And I May Have A Bad Ticker

    My thoughts and sympathies are with you. I suffered a "Silent" heart attack at the end of March. None of the numb arm stuff. I woke at 4:00 am gasping for air, ice cold and sweaating profusely. In a panic, the wife bundled me into the T-Bird and drove like a mad-woman the nearly 30 miles to the...

    Makin' the rounds sayin' Hi
