This reminds me of a show that use to be on a long time ago (much further back than I would like to admit). I can't remember the name but 2 people would race through the store putting groceries into their basket. The one who checked out with the highest dollar amount of groceries won.

Now if we could really do that at the local hobby shop or at the traveling train shows wouldn't that be just great. I think Vic is on to something here. Now if I could just borrow Adrianspeeders nice big truck and use it for my shopping cart I could race through the store and pile it high of Big Boys, Challengers, and tons of other good items. [;)] Sounds like a good deal to me. [:D]

To be able to create solid reality from my thoughts.I always imagineer it perfectly, then ham-hand it into reality.Just think-scale wind to blow scale leaves and scale trash . Scale diesel smoke from growling, lugging Alcos. Scale rain to shine it all up, then scale sunshine ....aw, just give me that shrink ray!

And the Hudson 2816 as a backup, I would also use it for double heading on the long weekends when all the friends and family come over and the trains running loooong.

[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]


have you seen the 2816 lately? wonderful. it was to go through Salmon Arm this morning, and your wish can be granted for a mere $26000 (USD?) if you want to go to Halifax any time soon.
me? I think a MARKLIN MAXI bigboy would be great too...
keep up with the extra training[:)], we all need to right?
greetings from up the road

cheers, krump
