If one could roll back the hands of time... They would be waiting for the next train into the future. A. H. Francey 1921-2007

QUOTE: Posted by BudKarr Posted: 16 Sep 2005, 01:50:16 Greetings! I'm Bud Karr and this seems to be an interesting place for me to make my first visit on the forums ........ Quite a combination, talk of trains, levity and a comfortable atmosphere. Yes, I think this will do quite nicely for as long as I'm able to connect with those who may like to talk back. I'm not one for dispensing with the personal information, but let it suffice to say that I'm a train enthusiast in the sense that riding them is my preference to watching or modeling them. Haven't got the time for the former and insufficient space for the latter. Don't accumulate too many material things in what I do ....... It took me quite a bit of time to leaf through the pages and I see that a core of you is keeping this idea thriving. Good. You have many detractors on other forums - those who would like to do away with the type of chatter going on within these community type gatherings. Screw 'em, I say. Set me up with a JD, double on the rocks ......... Check back later ........ BK

I hear you sell good beer from the micro breweries and a pint of KATY PALE ALE would go down a treat this hot M.O. afternoon [tup] I have been in the corner listening to and learning about U.S. railroads as I am fairly recently in the U.S. from England .Good ale and good railroad chat what more could a man want. I hope to call in to the bar again soon if I may
QUOTE: Posted: 02 May 2005, 19:09:05 Hi Tom, sorry it took me so long to drop by but Florida is a "far piece" from here. I would have taken AmTrak but I wanted to get here before June. You have a cozy looking saloon and, from the posts I've read, great clientele to boot. I won't need a lot of introductions 'cause I already met most of the neighbors in another "saloon" down the road some. I'll have a Labatts Pilsner if you please...just to cut the road dust, don't ya know? You really picked the right name: "Our" PLace. From the "laid back" friendly chats, to the slight tremor when a train rumbles by; who could ask for more? Love that bouquet of pale ale, french fries, onions and diesel exhaust too. Guess I won't be of much use on Canadian 4' 8-1/2" but I'll try to keep up with maps, etc. For now, I'll just say it was worth the trip and I'm mighty proud to meet the "regulars." Also, have a great "Ocean" trip. Bon voyage, Ted
QUOTE: Posted by LoveDomes Posted: 11 Jan 2006, 17:15:04 Greetings fellow classic train lovers! I bring to you some new blood at this establishment created for all who enjoy the love of Classic Trains and appreciate the interaction amongst those who have similar interests. First, let me give you some brief background: I am not a novice when it comes to the Kalmbach Forums. I have participated in the past and had several of those stars. I gave it all up awhile ago for an assortment of reasons. My return is under a new cyber handle and I am essentially starting over. You may check me out in my profile, but it is rather brief. I am John Larson and preferred to be called, Lars. As you can tell by my handle, I love domes! Just loved those pix provided by siberianmo Tom and the inputs by passengerfan Al. [tup] Heaven just cannot be as good as sitting in a dome car! I have checked out this thread from pretty much the onsest of its birth and have followed each of you through the months of its existence. I also visit the thread called, "If you like Classic PASSENGER trains, visit here!" although I have not "surfaced" there, yet. Why am I here and why have I come back to the forums? I miss the interaction and quite simply would like to know that there are some people still around who enjoy mature, adult conversation, without the absolutely nonsense appearing in so many other places. I give you fair warning, Gentlemen, I detest rude people and fall very heavily into the camp of BudKarr & Tom when it comes to tolerance for the ignorant and inconsiderate. Those who exploit the good intentions of others belong at the bottom of the sea. So, Mr. Barkeep - or Captain Tom - or Proprietor, or whatever else you may prefer to be called - hit me with a Jack Daniels, black label, on the rocks and I'll plunk down a twenty for a round on me! Let's roll, Gentlemen! Lars
