New to Garden Railroads

[Anonymous]

Well I was going to put him in contact with my Grandaughter Casey, who is the same age ie 14 this month: but i got an inkling that he wasn't all he could be.

I hadn't had much to do with her since we moved up here to Queensland but I have just had her here for 2 weeks and guess what she has been suspended by me for a couple of years, bad attirude ungrateful, trouble maker etc.

Maybe I should still put them in touch with each other.

So he's not really into Mary Poppins? Thanks god for that!!!

When he started going on about Mary Poppins and watching it every day, I was wondering if it was really Nurse Ratchett that he had a daily meeting with.

[spankybird]

In the past, he has also been on the Classic Trains Forum. Bob Keller has also been informed of him. He is not what he says he is.

[vsmith]

He appears to be behaving himself over at the CCT, apologized etc etc but that being said he hasn't been over here yet.

[Rene Schweitzer]

[zzz]I must have been sleepy today, because I finally understand what's been happening here. Lehigh, I did get your email. It seems Poppins has been causing some trouble on the Classic Toy Trains forum, and has had several posts deleted. I'm going to email Bergie and see if he's been anywhere else. Let me know if anything crops up in the meantime!

[Anonymous]

I sent an email to Rene about this charater....

[vsmith]

FYI ,

I "Outed" him on the MyLargeScale site as well, I dont take kindly to internet liers.

[Capt Bob Johnson]

That sir, is the $64,000.00 question!
Considering all the lies to date, why should we assume that too is not a lie?
If he is a kid, he needs to learn to be responsible for his actions. If he is grownup, it is a reprehensible sham that is unforgivable in this format.

While I don't condone what "Bert and Mary Poppins A.K.A. NICK A.K.A. Locomotive10" did by mis-representing himself and who he really is, I do think some people are over-reacting.

One thing I am curious about, is he really just a teenager (13 years old)? Or was that a mis-representation as well?

Plain and simple, He Lied. Not only that but he then embellished the lie with other lies about his former self dying in a fire? isnt that lie enough to warrent banishement?

I have very few peeves on-line but the worst is to take advantage of the trust and generocity we show to new members of the forum. if he had simply come back as the same ID and said "Hey its Nick and i'm back" nothing would be wrong....but instead now we find out that he lied. I dont like liers, I expect them on other types of forums but here we tend to base or acceptance of other people of the fact that are (in the most basic sense) who they are. Not that they have to provide a bio, but that they are at the simplist level who they claim they are.

Now if a poster calls himself "Trainbastard_A#1" and never tells us where he lives or what he does or anything even remotely personal but asks ligitamate questions, he will get replies based on the questions asked. Its his decision to remain anonomous. But to come on, introduce himself and tell us a song and dance bio about himself and his "freindship" with a previous forum member only to find its a fabrication, is unforgivable to me.

Banish him to the darkest depths of the internet....[}:)]

[Chompers]

i hope that reply dosn't get me into trouble[#oops][B)][B)]

Sad to say you might be right, I had enough of false ID posers with that Disneyland character.

Have you come clean on this forum as you did on CTT [?]

For those of you who don#8217;t know, Bert is Loccomotive10 aka Nick.

On the CTT forum he claimed that Nick died in a fire. He later came out and admitted that he is Nick.

Goes to show you, you can#8217;t always believe what some people post.

WE'VE BEEN DUPED[:0][X-)][%-)][D)]

[Capt Bob Johnson]

What is going on here? Have we someone with a dual personality disorder? Or some other mental illness other than Garden Railroading?

[spankybird]

Here is the link to the CTT forum

Poppins,
I have to say, this forum and GR magazine have been my primary source for info on how to make my railway. I've always gotten several answers with different ideas to choose from. This is a great bunch of people. i'm 15 myself started my GR at 13. Have fun.

Bert,

Welcome. It's a great hobby, you'll meet many great people and there are very few curmudgeons out there. You budget isn't bad at all.

I made my decision on what to run based on budget, space for curve radius, and target audience. I'm using european 2 axle rolling stock and locos because of the tight radius curves along with my target being 2 grandkids, 5 & 7. The 2 axle cars are better for them when putting on the track.

Enjoy,

SM

Hello,

Yes, I have thought of joining a club, but where I live Garden Railroading is a rare activity. I belive there are 4 or 5 garden railroads in the state I live in.

But the nearest club is cleed the Peidmont Garden Rairloaders and that is in North Carolina, but I might join in some day.

I am currently a member of My Large Scale and this site.

Oh, by the way gary, I do have a life. I play football and basketball, but I have a lot of free time for my 2 strongest interests, Garden railroading and Disney Movies, especially Mary Poppins. I got the Mary Poppins 40th anneversery DVD for chirstmas, and So far, I watch that every day. But I have seen other movies too. I saw White Noise last weekend and Sleepy Hollow the week before, and there are loads besides that, but I have senn Mary Poppins the most.

[Rene Schweitzer]

Poppins,
Have you thought about joining a garden railroad club? There are clubs all over the world and usually membership isn't very expensive (maybe you can talk your parents into a family membership and they can come too!). Clubs routinely have open houses, where you can see what someone is doing, ask questions, and learn new things.

Garden Railways prints a club directory in every issue, or you can go here and click on clubs: http://www.gardentrains.org

Thank you,

I really appriciate it. But there seams to be confusion with my forum name. No I am just one person. I am a 13 year olb boy who loves trains (the most) and Mary Poppins.

I still get emotional at the end of Mary Poppins when she flys away. Somtimes when I am sad( boys can have a sensitive side too) I cry. But I love the movie so much I can rememmber all the sounds words and most of the dancing from Mary Poppins.

Don't think when I am done with my railroad that I will pick up my Umbrella and Carpet bag and fly away, like my friend Nicholas Parker did. I am here to stay

Nicholas moved away to Memphis Tennessee.

Oh, to shorten every thing, when you reply, you can just call me Poppins.

Poppins

[(-D][(-D]Hey Poppins, Bert, Mary or whatever

You need to get a life, at least Garden Railways is a start also try football.
Just kidding[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

All the best
