Heads Up Railroad Club Batchelors!
Posted by ole1 on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 1:08 PM
I'm an old geezer (retired farner and widower) and was just reading the latest copy of the AARP Magazine when I came across an article on senior dating.. The woman writing the article gives this advice; "Better still is to join a club of like-minded individuals. Forgive me for playing sterotypes, but think of interests you have that men are likely to share......If you have a tomboy streak and love model rockets or railroad trains, you're set." If any new women my age show up at the club I think I'll ask them to show me some pictures of their layouts and Lionel's before I get too interested. Ole

Gee, I'll be 50 in 2 years and AARP eligible, maybe ought to start early and get the jump on senior train ladies. :-)

Would be glad to conduct tours of my basement layout. Maybe have ladies night.

...at that point it would probably be a "steamer"...or a long articulated...
Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

With my luck, I'd get distracted and a train would go right off the end of my point to point layout. Now I know why you guys have loops.
