I've got the Flu, trains are my occupation

Hello.

I have gt the flu.I hate it. But My parents let me set up a loop of track starting in my room, going out into the hallway, into and out the computer room, along the walls and couches in the living room, along the drawers in th kitchen, into my parents room, under their bed along the wall, cross the room, back along the opposite wall, ito the kitchen following the wall into the livngroom along the wall, into the hallway along the opposite wall where the other track it came on is, and back into my room.

My 2 friends lent me their trains to run while I am sick and confined to bed. I am having a blast using my friend Luke's TMCC Lionel Pennsylvania K4 and the others he and my other friend lent me.

this is true railroading as kids did in the Prewar and Postwar eras.

P:S: My Prewar Lionel M10000 is being put through it paces along wtih my modern era Hudson and freight cars right now. The layout can run 2 trains. I am lying in the bed with the laptop with wireless internet and a cup of hot tea (hmmm) typing this [:D] [:D] [:D]. Let me go. I am going to put the Hudson on the siding and put the K4 and prewar freght set out [}:)]. This is the life [angel].

Sounds fun! Just don't fling you cookies on the transformer or trains![:D] Sadly I have no friends that like trains, you are a lucky dog.

Hello

Actually. I am not that fond of cookies. I hardly ever eat them. The transformer is right next to my bed. Both my Parents have to work, so since I am 1, I get to stay home alone.

On my bed is the laptop (this is how I do my posting when I am sick), the DVD remote, my friends TMCC remote, 2 bottles of Afrin, a box of tissues, a stack of CTT magazines, and the TV remote.

As I stay up late at night, I shortened the trck to just run in the living room. and so the noise does not wake up my parents, at night, I shut the door (I have Lionel 0-27 and K-Line 0-27 0-72 Curves) over the tracks, set the switches, and run them in my room. I have connected 2 Lionel 0-42 switches, so I don't run my prewar M10000 at night.

Hello,

Just know, I dozed off and accidentally left the trains running as the sound of the wheels luled me to sleep. I was Running the M10000 and Prewar freight set.

Well, Then there was a resounding clanging noise, like a tinplate train crash.
That woke me up right away in time to see The steam engine being flung to the side and the M10000 jackknife.

I will have to be more carefull.
