Have fun with your trains

If some of us want our model railroads to be a fantasy and escape, well, we have a word for that: freelanced. No hard feelings, Daniel P.S. Have a happy February 29, vsmith, and everyone. Well go for it, I never said it was a bad thing, just that i found the realism of certain era's (warts and all), more interesting than an "Ozzie and Harriet" version of it. To be sure i dont intend on glorifying an era from the past, there are many aspects of the past I detest and refuse to even consider as part of the history of my layout (Racism, McCarthyism, J Edgar Hoover in a dress, well, maybe that one...) Afterall, its your layout, do with it what you will. i want to have fun and that includes being a little off center with my sense of humor... and addrerssing the more interesting historical features of a small desert town in the 50's would have. So as the layout progresses the hidden jokes and surprises will be included, and woe to the poor schuck who gets too close to Madame Orr's House or to the Bisto Illegal where Ol' Janx is half off at happy hour.. (Dont worry too much about the NC-17 rating, like most movies that recieve it very few actually deserve it, so it will be more the Pirates of the Caribean version of a Shady Ladies establishment[;)]) I know I roaming a bit, had dinner and had the nearest Earth equivelent to a Pan Galactic GargleBlaster IOW a Georges Special at Mijares Mexican Restaraunt here in Pasadena, time to go kick back and watch the groove tube..BTW how else do you expect me to survive watching "Joan of Arcadia" [xx(] Later Vic BTW #2 our Christmas Tree is still up, it doesnt come down until Easter.

I never though about it, but when I get around to the scenery, I might use a few double entendres. I find that kind of thing amusing, and I don’t have to worry about kids (I’m 17) except my sister, and she is only two years younger.

How many of you have a church on your layout? I will have one as the center of the town. Dear Snake, I will have a cathedral just as soon as I can find 1:48 marble and granite, and just as soon as the model railroad club on my model railroad sells their land. Until then, somenthing plasticville-esque will have to do. Dear jetrock, You must be a teacher. "Pulchritude," "prurient," "ardent lecher;" if it weren't for my habbit of reading the dictionary, I would have been increscently befuddled as your soliloquoy progressed. So far my layout is at most PG. Dear vsmith, Ordinarily I agree with you, but here...come on.... If some of us want our model railroads to be a fantasy and escape, well, we have a word for that: freelanced. If it weren't for that wonderful word, I would have no justification for planning on structures modeled after many different railroads. And so, if we want to create a world free of sexual content, crime, and worst of all, intercity trucking [:)], then just let us have our fun with book stores that sell no less than 57 different railway periodicals and movie theaters that are always showing Dougleheaded Freight on the Cumbres and Toltec, Rotary Snowplows on the Cumbres and Toltec, Pentrex's Big Boys, and slide shows of Uncle Ed's most recent trip to Tehachapi Loop. Besides, just think of what my wholesome 1940's-50's era model people would think if I created some prurient establishment between the respectable institutions of the UP ticket office and the model train store [:)]. But, given the contrasts between your layout and my planned layout, I think I have just come up with a new slogan: "We'll get you to Kneading or the Chicken L'Orange is free [:)]." Keep in mind that I am currently listening to Christmas music--even though it's Lent. No hard feelings, Daniel P.S. Have a happy February 29, vsmith, and everyone.

My layout is just going to Western RR's in the 40's and 50's and It'll be a a pleasant atmosphere.

Reply Edit vsmith Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Smoggy L.A. 10,743 posts Posted by vsmith on Friday, February 27, 2004 4:51 PM Speaking of saloon's I need a name for my saloon. Any Ideas? I was going to go with "Borracho Bar and Grill" but have been thinking of using one of the 3 famous bars mentioned in the THHGTTG. Here are my choices from the Guide: 1. Slit's Throat Emporium 2. The Bistro Illegal 3. The Evildrome Booze-a-rama. I kinda like the way #3 rolls of the tongue, BTW Milliway's is already taken, its going to be the only restaraunt in town ( has a great view ). Any other ideas, they should be clever and/or funny. All are welcome to contribute though.

I have some old Railroad magazines from the 60's-70's and one issue from 1955. The ones from the early 60's don't have a whole lot of girl pictures in them, but in the issues from the 70's almost half the photos are of girls. I'm sure that the whole contorversy surrunding this cost them a lot of readers and lead to the magazne's demise.

Reply Edit Jetrock Member sinceAugust 2003 From: Midtown Sacramento 3,340 posts Posted by Jetrock on Friday, February 27, 2004 3:16 AM If one wanted to add a cheesecakey touch without going beyond the boundaries of a PG rating, and one modeled the Sixties or Seventies, one could simply include a photographer miniature and a young-woman miniature (perhaps in a mini-skirt, but clothed) near the railroad tracks--RAILROAD MAGAZINE regularly featured shots of young women (clothed) with trains in the background, which was often a subject of much controversy on their letters page.

I'm a teacher too and I'm constantly amazed at how R and X rated even Jr. High can be.
