What if...
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, June 11, 2005 1:02 AM
What if the world were about to be destroyed by a giant asteroid, and at the last minute, aliens came to our rescue and said we could only bring a tooth brush, a change of clean underware and one favorite train with us. Which of your trains would you bring-and remember, you could only bring "one".

Laugh if you will, but I'd grab my two N scale Kato P-42 Amtrak phase III engines, baggage car and passenger cars. I went through way too much to get them than to leave them behind to become space dust. To hell with the tooth brush and underware!...

Hope you enjoy this one.

My Bachman 440 Jupiter that doesn't run worth a crap. It was the last gift my father ever bought me before he died. If I could take two, I'd take that and his Chattanooga choo
choo that I inherited and still run to this day.

It would be the Oriental Limited 2-4-4-2,cause it was a gift from the Mrs,and a G&D mixed freight made by MDC cause I admire John Allen. Would ask aliens if I could swap a keg of beer in place of the underwear.

I don't think you would have to worry about bringing your own beer because according to all of the UFO reports, the flying saucers fly real erratically, so I would imagine they have plenty of beer. Don't they know drinking and flying a saucer don't mix...[:p]

I'd high-tail it over to my girlfriend's house.
