I heard they pumped natural gas in rolling stock!

BTW: I want one!  I'm sure my Mrs would die laughing before she asked "Who's been talking to you about your plans?"

I once told her I wanted a flat car from the snack bar the the lounge chairs in the home theater to deliver goodies.  She derailed that plan quick.

I visited one model railroad where the mainline ran though the bathroom.......(both levels!) on their open house.

Love it! My fiance' & I bought our 1st house in Sept, & still layout planning. (actually trying to plan end staging around the washer/dryer. Whistling [:-^]) I recall Mr. Chubb had similar issues also that he outlined in a series in MR in 1979. (WHEN am I EVER gonna find & dig those old issues out of my parents' attic?)

Best of Luck-I'm going through it too! Wink [;)]

That is one cool T-shirt, James! Approve [^]Thumbs Up [tup]  If you find out where they got it, I'd like to know myself so that I could get one. Smile [:)] (Even if "Hazzard" is really spelled with only one "z".)

My suggestion is to utilize the extra space in the kitchen and living room as well as building a massive yard in the entry way.Whistling [:-^]

Ok so I was at the inlaws for an early bird Christmas tonight.  I got a great gift at the best timing ever.  My wife and I just bought our first house, so my gift is right at home.
