Your Better Half at Christmas [or other time]. The ones that let us spend our $$$$$ on trains.

[FJ and G]

since we're showing our loved ones I just wanted to include my pet roach

[csxt30]

Dave: you didn't tell us its name ? He seems very gentle & friendly, though ![:D][:D]
Thanks, John & Merry Christmas !

[Jumijo]

The only good roach is a dead roach. And a squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail.

I was just adding to Daves' joke there. In my 26 months overseas in the late 60s & earlys 70s, people there ate these along with beatles & rats & dogs. So to some, they are good.
Not to me, though !

My bride in VIA Rail's "Revelstoke Park" car at Montreal's Central Station prior to departure for Halifax in May 2005 aboard the "Ocean."


My bride and I, aboard VIA Rail's "Ocean" and dining car, "Louise." Heading home to visit family and friends in Halifax.


Great idea! [tup][tup][tup]

Merry Christmas to all!

Wow - you sure went LOCO!

I am jealous - I've just got 1 train set and two handcar sets.

[ChiefEagles]

DAAN, he is as bad as me. Lots of trains and track still on the carpet. [:(]

Yep, for both there is a simple solution. Built a layout in that room, and cupboards under it for storage. (That way the depth of the layout can be used too and the misses only sees the first row[:D])

Got to save room under the benchwork for wife's Rubbermaid tubs of JUNK. [:(] Getting closer and closer. Got a lot of junk out of the walk in attic. Will do more after Christmas as I can stack her tubs in the guest bedroom as Youngest will be gone. [;)]

I believe we are approaching the end of year two hearing about moving the Chief's "junk" so that benchwork can be built. [;)]

To get rid of junk is also simple. Everything you didn't used the past year is going to the salvation army. Once a year we do that kind of cleaning, since otherwise with the size of Dutch houses we couldn´t even move our asses anymore..
Stuff from moved children you also can stock away for a year after they got their own place, after that year you ask them what they want with it. If they don´t know, they probably don´t miss it and the salvation army can use that kind of stuff and clothing very well.
If you ever want to have a layout for the trains, be strickt with other people´s junk, since your place otherwise acts as a cheap storage locker to keep other houses tidy.[;)]

True......And now we move onward to year three.

[ChiefEagles]

3 big loads to Goodwill, 2 to the dump site and our big rolling garbage cart full of books and papers twice. Making progress. [:)] Got permission to get rid of more today. [:)]

[Blueberryhill RR]

I ran out of pictures, but will get some good ones today.

Mine spent $$$ on me for train items, Lionel stool, Halmark Polar Express set, Halmark train collector's set for 05, Lionel magnet and a book of train stencils.

[Jumijo]

My wife bought me 3 Halmark Lionel ornaments, the 2 Polar Express add-on cars, a bunch of Life Like trees, some end of track bumpers, and an MRC dual controller. And that was just the train stuff. I got a huge pile of gifts that were non-train related. She sure tried hard to make it a great Christmas!

I guess this thread isnt for us guys that arent married or have no other half! [:p] I live alone and Its nice to have the freedom to buy whatever trains I can, and with no restrictions. [:)]

[Brutus]
