Miss S,Gotta wait till the weekend to try to invent those new pretzels. My sweetie went to Pittsburgh for the week.
Choo it is way past dawn here stateside. Surely the sparks should be flying by now?

Jeff S just throwing up a smokescreen to confuse Poor Ole Choo

I use my own steam train...

Assuming you can be make it out. Awfully small.

"Jeff S just throwing up a smokescreen to confuse Poor Ole Choo"

You're right, now I am all confused big trains, small trains, big smoke screen of trains, JeffS is being devious too looks like I need to out switch him.

And there they are selling tickets, jump aboard folks and join in the train wreck at dawn

Hey Choo, I thought it was to get on board... help ya build steam. And to confuse Jeff.
Taz, what are you up to there!? Pickin' on Choo like that! Shame on you!! Bad Taz! Bad!! Bad!
And I thought you came over to the dark side!!

Where IS Miss M? Get over here girlie! We need to do some serious whackin'!! Whack some sense into Taz till his honey gets back. He's runnin' amuck!!

!oohC !oohC ,kcalc ytikcilc ,kcalc ytikcilc...

I think JeffS and I were at the same place 5 hours apart, where's my time machine, drat Pete took it to Germany.

Better get out my DeLorean instead

Pretty rare to see a thread go over 2000 posts. Posting just to say I was here.

Big HI to everybody else

Did I sleep too long? What'd I miss?? What time zone is this?
I wondered which dawn sparks will fly.
It dawns on me...
This train jus' does Not fit my persona!

Me neither Miss S...good to see ya BTW
Sure you can have the DeLorean next..gotta keep it away from Choo as long as possible, since he won't tell me his name

When does Pete get back? He sent this very handsome picture of himself.






(Thanks Thurston!)

And here he is being the life of the party...atleast he doesn't have a lampshade on his head (although it might be an improvement)

Right then Ms M I will upgrade your ticket to VIP* class and give you the front row seat on the train wreck of the year, that is on the cow-catcher

Then you can use your x-ray eyes to derail JeffS before impact as you will have a vested interest, as I said may the most devious driver win, he, he, where's Muttley got to ...

I hope catering will be supplying enough cookies, pretzels and rats for the viewers gastronomic delight.

Hi Thurston, drop in again sometime, all are welcome to join in and stir things up.


Eek, just turned 1,000 posts no wonder my fingers are wearing away

That other train image was too small. This one's better. I remember when I took this shot ten years ago. That engine barreled by at 70mph and the earth shook as it went by. Awesome. I was about 10 feet to the side of the tracks, still camera on one tripod, video camera on another. If your browser supports right click->view image (Firefox does) you can get a better look at the larger original.

Jeff that is an awesome pic..I'm guessing you're a photographer??

Choo..don't think I didn't see that

Wow, JeffS why on earth did you use off-the-shelf avatar pic when you have your own great picture like that, have enlarged it up to take a closer look.

With such a shine to the paintwork suggests its a preserved engine working a mainline special, right ?

Ah Ms M not ignoring me all the time then

Just popping in to say Hi all. Miss S

I was a covert OPS spy and really just came for the cookies but never got any cookies anyway. Ninth got all da cookies
Miss M when do I get the Delorean?
JeffS great photo! My area has a K-4 getting restored right now. It has been in Scranton for sometime and Altoona is getting upset that things are moving so slowly.
Welcome to the madness Thurston!

Serves u'right, treacherous dog, even though I haven't a clue what OPS stands for

Taz & Choo - Thanks for the welcome. I'll be here more often now that I know that the club isn't that exclusive.

member_8880 - Thanks for using the site. Hang in there - I have over 1000 little pics on my desktop being sorted for upload in the next week or so. It gets nothin' but better...

BTW - do you have to host the pictures here to use them on the board? I've tried the links at Emotipics put haven't yet been able to make them work.
