Hi All,

Well, so far it has been a great day. My loving wife did bless me with a new train. I actually got it a couple of week ago, but it is my birthday present.



It’s an MTH Railking PS2. It’s great, smoke, flashing dig lights when you blow the horn, etc.

I also got a train video, “Life begins at 40” . It’s the story of Nickel Plate 675. A really good video of steam.

Well its time for cake. Got to go for now.

Tom

My mom always told me, "Son, the measure of a wife is how many trains she gets you for your birthday." Looks like you snagged a good one, Spank! Speaking of spanking, how many times do we get to spank you today???

It’s sad to say, the double nickel, 55 big ones. It will be a week before I can sit down.

It sure is tuff, typing standing up.

Spankybird, good looking engine. I'll take all those NS box cars. I'll even pay the shipping. [:D] Where did you get them?

Hi Chief,

The NS cars are from Industrial Rail, and sorry they are not for sale. I need them for when young ones come over to see the trains, they can say “it’s just like what we saw on the real railroad”.

Hi Jerry,

Yes I do know when Spanky the parrots birthday is. His birthday is Jan. 21, 1995. So he is 9 years old. I have had him since he was 10 week old. At that point of his life, he was still being hand feed, being too young to eat on his own. My now x-wife and I owned a pet shop and I used to do a lot of breeding of pets (dogs, birds, and tropical fish). Because of being in the business, I meet a lot o breeders, and I meet the people that breed Spanky.
