Marty's "Snow" Job

If you are in the mood for a couple of good laughs at the expense of "scalers" there are a couple of good threads over on MR. Marty asked "How do you make show?" Marty I "I donna tink dem dar boys understood dat you was outside!"

TOC; I think you totally lost the crowd in the "smoke" thread with your "Half Zero" comment.

Anyway if anyone wants to have a laugh or two try these two threads.

Do you guys pick on the small scalers like that all the time? If so I've been missing out on a WHOLE LOT OF FUN!!!!!!!!

I kind of thought Marty was yanking our chains over there. I originally fell for it, but Curmudgeon sort of gave it away.[swg]

I almost gave the correct answer yesterday. When the temperature is below freezing, you spray a fine mist of water into the air. That's how ski areas do it.[;)]

The one thing about the MR forum, its really active. I read some of the other threads and you have some real die hards.
I will go for awhile, as I said , i am visitor.

No harm intended, I think many "modelers" need their eyes opened alittle.
Its funny how a club will get one or two new members and the club will seem fresh and alive again till a year or so passes. I think new blood is good. Make the old timers wake up again.
kinda reminds me of a church story
Every Sunday this old timer stood up and said , God so loved the world verse.
One Sunday a young kid came, and just as the old guy stood, the young buck said, For God so loved the world etc, The old guy was sad and sat down.
I guess its time to learn a new verse.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

You know guys, the garden gate swings both ways. On the other hand you might like the fact that not too many of them wander in here.

You are all always welcome, but for the most part it's only Vic who ever stops by.

I do 3 rail O, but I don't live on the CTT forum. How else would I know what kind of trains Marty and Curmudgeon like?

Marty, you have a good host site, all you need to do is include the [ img] command. To see what it should look like, quote this post.

Matt, I have too much time on my hands, so I see almost everything that goes on on all of the forums here. Trains.com is really the only forum I do, but it doesn't usually get dull because of all of the different magazines. Kind of my one stop shop.

I used to have a subscription to GR, and at one time considered building outdoors. But when we moved, and I got my dream basement, the party was over. It still looks like fun, and the photos are proof that it can be a year round activity.
