QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie No - as much as I love trains - I want everything in small doses. I sure wouldn't want to stay in my house 6 mos at a time, altho the scenery doesn't change. Besides, I am interested in the front end - and I can't see it coming right at me if I am behind it! Mookie
Have fun with your trains

That is an awful lot of time to be on a train! Cut it back to about a month. 5 months is a big cut but 1 month is about all I could endure maybe not even that much. I would take my family if I could get them to go. I don't have a job except for 7th grade, so I would just do it over summer vacation. What would I do? Read, watch T.V. if I'm allowed to take it, and watch the scenery. I would want the NS 611 and 10 cars. No wine for me though! Cool question. I could make a whole story about my trip.

Mookie is with Willie (and he is thrilled about it!) - I would do a month at a time and stretch it over maybe 6 years! Even caviar and champagne should be enjoyed in small doses. Do like the 844 and 611 idea tho. She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.
