the "Never Ending Story" Story

[Noah Hofrichter]

I've got the first ten pages of a never ending story compiled below. I want to eventually do the whole thing, as complete as I can get it. If you want to help, post that you will and what pages you plan on doing so somebody else doesn't do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated on this project. P.S. The little print exe. (1)means the start of a new page. One final thing, the views of this story do not necessarily reflect the views of this poster, namely me. So here goes:

(1)My train layout is so big its a M.E.S.S. Maintenance is hard my bench work collapsed! and now I sit broken hearted, wondering, "whats Next?" and then my wife says ohhhh you need more money to build a second layer but I need to stop buying a new pair of brass 4884's. I went on to purchase instead a 4664 Which is the (2)very epitome of looks over substance. Maybe i should sell it to grumpy old man who smiles fondly at broken diesels. But all is silent for a noisy Athearn engine. Although now I have a layout bigger then my house. My wife said to me make it bigger. 100,000x100,000 is still to small for me to get around the dang house.(3) So I'll run longer faster trains on my bigger and better layout. Suddenly, you realize you're not alone there is a feeling of doom! Is okay for dead people but not for a beautiful model railroad. Bachmann HO geeps are worse than my TYCO F3s. Oh the humanity[:0]of broken engines and shattered dreans I move forward in life forever4to railfan peacefully. Passenger trains rule frieght trains drool!!!! Love those Hudsons and those Columbias. And don't forget the great Allegheny's engines of superiority which rule supreme [bow] only in dreams. Big boys rule especially out west where alleghanies don't CHOO CHOO PSSSHHHH[(-D][(-D] [(-D] the challenger's good but yellowstones dominate. But aren't we supposed to be versed in three's. Cars and planes(5)are not cool unless on flatbed or scrapped, or turned into razors to be used and sold in stores everywhere! I think trains rock more than anything else in the country errrr...World! Out racing sunsets, the FeF-3 flys down the rails. Under pristine skies. I watch a streamliner race by going 70mph with 8 cars. Clouds lazing by (6) a storm brewing on the horizon lightning flashes everywhere!!! Grumpy Old Man breaks HO cars into millions of stars to be incinerated and crushed by people posting Into paper clips. Rail fanning is fun and model railroading is too. No other hobby is so much fun as these two. The best in combining history and eccentric fantasy. Forever model railroading will (7) rule over all the earth. I will post forever until I can’t see no more. But his time is to[o] short to remember what his dog said at the depot. Look! In the roundhouse, It’s a plane, no it’s a Jet-powered RDC. Oh what words of wisdom we have said today. I don’t know Seems we all (8) have to get new ideas from that girl who flashed her smile at my trains and broke them. Where’s this story going to end? No one knows, one thing’s certain I’ll be back! Riding the rails on the super chief must have been a mighty felling so is CNW and the 400 really enjoyed viewing and free drinks like in that [size=](9) gin mill in the other city right next door miniature city vistas are the sight to see.

Pg15

I can't focus on what's important
which is the reason I model Big Sky Blue rather than SOO
The pants off You Know Who.
Though some didn't see the reason for my teasing the girls.
So one dark and stormy night,
I "borrowed" an Amtrak for a little trip to the food store in
My Birthday Suit to buy a

Pg16

dozen chickens and burgers to BBQ
but forgot the condoments and rice all because of
Isn't that our National Security Advisor??
Oh, my mistake, that's Condoleezza Rice.
Broadway Limited's 4-6-4 pops a rivet
and it falls down the drain ending up in The Pacific Ocean
Replacing the 4-6-4 a 4-8-8-4 can not even pull 1,000 cars but
can make time fly, as it kareens into the

Pg17

KATO SD40-2 which disintegrates into millions of small bits
that look like small dust particles which they are Trains are so
varied and complex Yet simple. Xanadu maidens visit for
some intersteller railfanning but are stopped by
the Railship Enterprise staffed by MIB but MIB are distracted by UFO's on baby-trains
ready to invade the NS office On my layout
WOO HOO!!!!!!! YEAH!!!

Pg18

That's how it sounds when a super-steller railship derails into Starruca Galaxy
Meanwhile, in Nebraska, it landed on a cornhusker who was watching intermodal
containers being inspected for paint chips which were peeling from the old poorly maintained fleet
Then I saw a Flying Saucer painted like the UP/FEC conversion scheme crashes into the
barn and kills the UP board

of directors. Oh why couldn't this just stop now.
But why should all of these nice folks be thrown from the train like momma
Poor old ma, she is out on a limb with no hope of coming back
Then lightening struck me on the back of my head over I went
leaving a bald spot somewhere on planet Earth. So

pg20

I took my trusty leatherman out
And Hit The ingnition switch of my "MODEL A"
So We Can go race trains over the edge of Grand Canyon
My E6 couldn't pull its (fair/fare) but my F7
is broken now, so my F9 did the job without even reaching the stars twinkling.
What a mess I must confess I didn't know
