Elliotts Trackside Diner (est 1-1-07)

Wow!  I must be your first customer!  Love what you've done with the place.  So, what's on the grill this morning?  I could really use some bacon, eggs and hashbrowns.  No coffee, though.  Never really cared for the stuff...tastes like burnt water to me.  I will take a tall glass of ice cold milk, though.

BTW, the names Cliff.

Happy New Year to you, too!

HEY!

The new place looks great!

And the girls are all here I see!  Chloe, Zoe, and even Flo made it!  And they've got the place looking fit for a king!

I'll just have the crapes please.....

If you don't mind, while you girls are getting that I'm going to wander around and check the new place out!

Oh, and here's a link back to the old Coffee Shop in case you're interested: http://www.trains.com/trccs/forums/1/196682/ShowPost.aspx#196682

I'll have the chicken kabobs, please.

Nice place!

I'll have my usual, a Bituminous Burger and a side order of Ties.

Hope everyone has a great New Year!

Happy new year!

The new place looks great, It will take a while for the "new car" sent to go away I imagine, maybe once the galley is fired up the old smells will return, LOL.

Reminds me of the Victoria Station Diner in Toledo,OH.  It was made up of restored railcars.

Time for a late lunch! I'll have the steak and lobster.

Good afternoon, Ladies - I'll have one of those steaks like Jeff has there, please.

The place looks great, and Zoe and Chloe (and Flo), we appreciate all the effort you did to get things shaped up! Yeah, the old smells will develop with time. (Though I could stand to avoid that sauerkraut smell when they're making Reuben sandwiches...)

We actually are having sunshine in Cape Girardeau - guess that front has moved a little (for now). I'll enjoy it - supposed to hit almost 60 F today.

I take it you like your burgers well done, George? to the Trackside Diner, and have a cup on me! What's your RR like that you're planning/building/modeling? Fill us in some. (We're a slightly nosy bunch, but friendly)

I was fiddling some last night with the Walthers modular pieces. Wanted to make a building somewhat like their yard office (but maybe a bit thinner). Might have that mostly done today (except will want to add an interior to it, which will involve making or ordering details).

I'll check back later in the day when the girls have the champagne out. (Remember that Vinnie will be around, guys... )

Blessings on your remaining 2006,

Jim in Cape Girardeau

 BL2?!? How bout something in a tux, maybe one of these?

southern?!?!? why not somethig shiny?

Sorry guys, tux's are nice, and shiny stuff is great, but if you want to set yourself apart from the crowd, steam ROCKS!

ok, steam it is, are we using a big boy or mikado?

EDIT:

Steak and crab legs any one, my treat!!

Fine, shiny.

Is that good enough? An E8 might be better for a passenger train, especially one from the Southern Crescent!

If we're going steam:

THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH!

Tonight take the WINE TRAIN. The engineer is the desiginated driver. Have a Happy New Year.

Good Evening All,

       I like the new location and the old diner is looking a million bucks. Nothing like a trip down the tracks to make you clean up. Still cleaning rearranging here as well whilst we wait for one of the BILs' to show up. Tomorrow it's off to Montclair for more visiting so I need to sneak in what time I can.  CUL, J.R.

Hey PA

I'll take one of those t- bones. Nice place.Since were in a dining car.How about having some excursions pulled some nice locomotives

Look at this not even offiacally supose to be opened till midnight E.S.T. and were on page 2 already.

I have a few of southern U-36-B's (like 3 of them) and a southern 2-4-0 in my railroad. 3 Virginian rectifiers, and a B&O GP-9 if any of them would help. 6 Southern passenger cars and 7 B&O.

And if you really want to stand out...TURBINES are the way to go.

We don't want to stand out THAT much, do we? *cough-UGLY-cough*

 At least its eastern.

Wouldn't a Big Boy pulling a single passenger car be kind of like rabbit hunting with a howitzer?

And a turbine?  I want to stand out as a shining star, not a freak of nature.

Y'all had better be careful when your dealing with the turbines...
