As well as making it hard for the old folk to trust  us trustworthy young-uns.

Laugh [(-D]

busy at irratating everyone!!!         i just dont get it,  why be such a pest?  i was a little so-and-so at 11, but if i even thought of pulling some of the stuff this kid has,  i wouldnt have been doing much sitting  for  about 2 months!!

  sad commentary on the youth of today,  and kids like kobi make it hard for those who are actually trying to learn and enjoy this hobby.

He made the "name that train game" but it was so corrupt it evenutually got deleted so I made the "Name That Locomotive Game"(notice capitol letters) and put some guidlines albeit he did not exactly follow them. Stealig the name is another thing Tongue [:P]

I also notice that after having posted, he's never come back to reply to anyone.  He must be a really BUSY little 11-year old "dude", isn't he?

So let's ease back a little and share some stuff with him, okay? 

UnionPacificNut--

As I said in my previous post, I don't have a lot of UP equipment, but that's because I model Rio Grande and Southern Pacific.  However, I do have a "Sports Model" 4-8-2 mountain painted in UP "Challenger" colors, and I have an E-6 A-B-B diesel set that I use to pull my City of San Francisco passenger train.  I'm going to sell off the 4-8-2, not because I don't like UP, but because it really doesn't fit my RR.  I'm keeping the City of San Francisco, though, because it ran on SP over Donner Pass between Ogden Utah and Oakland, California. 

So, what part of the UP territory do you live in?  I think a lot of us would like to know. 

Tom

 

Tom is that your Gray UP MT-73 up in the consignment/brass case at Bruce's?

Aggro: 

Nope, mine's still here at home in the box along with most of my other BLI's.  If you're curious, e-mail me privately and I'll give you list and prices.

hoofus42@aol.com

Tom

 Nah. them MT-73s are quite handsome though. But then again I'm partial to the UP family look.  Big Smile [:D]

 The fleet is pretty full as is. In fact I'm thinking of selling some of my power. PRR J1 and mabey the N&W A class.  My next new aquisition should be the PCM AC-12....if it ever comes out. Laugh [(-D]

Actually he was 15 at one point.

 Lets see, first he was graduating from "HarvErd" then he was 20. After that he was 15 then was 13. He later became 12 and finally an 11 year old who spends too much time on the computer and too little time on his schoolwork. May I add that this is probably almost all lies such as we experienced on the bachmann forums.

Bear- Well he told me he has a HANDMADE BRASS FEF and he bought that all at a train show yesterday that he didnt know about until he left AND that he spent $900. Now where does a 12 year old find 900$. Oh last time I checked he was 11.

 WOW I haven't posted here in AWHILE!

I had  a UP GP40.......it got painted into CSX colors......looks better now.

I agree with Gene and Woundedbear, 11 yr.old scratchbuilder?   I'd like to see the pics too,  bet that City of San Francisco is the same TYCO thing he saw on ebay.

 For those here that aren't familiar with upnut yet, you will soon see why he has such a ''folllowing''.......we have seen his antics and read his ''fairy tales'', all we have to do is wait and he will provide us with some marvelous ''Mother Goose'' style tales.

None. I've got a respectable number of their freight cars (boxcars mostly), but since I'm modeling an area that the UP didn't run in until the 1980s, I don't need any of their engines!

It amazes me how people become obsessed with other people over simple stuff to the point of stalking them on the web. Scary stuff!!

If he attempted to scratch build something like those particular items at his age, I am sure they look decent relative to his experience and skill level. At least he ain't out smoking crank and stealin' cars.

Edit: As far as the age thing goes, he may have been reluctant to post his age because he was afraid that some folks would not respond to him because of how young he is. I believe in givin' everyone a fair shake in a situation like this until they do me wrong.

I'd love to see a really nice E-2 Could you provide a picture of it from your Dad's collection UPnut, or is it from your brothers collection?

Because he said he doesn't have a camera. He has a cell phone, but he can't apparently take pix with it.

You have got to be kidding.  Unless UP can lay claim to 4449, I don't have ANYTHING -even in my collection of nostalgic steam.

I might have a few (dozen) units, mostly diesel, including C45ACCTe's (ES44AC's) SD 90's, 70's, a DD40, AC4400's, Dash 8's and Dash 9's, Gp 15-1, 38-2.  I also have some renumbered SP units and all SP units will eventually be re-numbered.  All are DCC.

I'm curious about the MAC's.  Is this a concept unit?  I don't think the UP ever rostered MACs.  Currently they have 1448 SD 70M's on the roster.

Sure would like to see pictures of the scratch built turbine and City of San Francisco! They should put you in the Guinesse Book of World Reconds as the best 12 year old scratch builder of all time.

Now where did the guy with the 4-12-2s go...
I have a rivarossi 1960s first run big boy, but a few gears are cracked. It doesnt run more than 5 inches. I am waiting for an unlettered 2-8-0 w/sound from bachmann that I will letter for UP.
I dislike modern UP. I loooooove 1940-1950s UP.

Not much UP stuff here unless you count a C&NW waffle side boxcar and SP lumber car. It's not that I hate Union Pacific it's just my layout is set in Western PA and I figure it's best to have most of your freightcar fleet be from roads that operated in your railroad's area. I do plan to pick up a couple UP boxcars and maybe an auto rack in the future though.

Hi unionpacificnut

Who's Union Pacific??

Sums up my interest in that particular railroad

I do not own anything at all branded for that company and make a deliberate point of not purchasing anything UP branded at all

To the point where once spotted I move to a different area of shelving where nothing UP is located and the two UP cars I had went to the local tip
