Careful there Mookie, many of "us" are also "them" [8D]

And "them" visit here. [}:)]

You can almost hear that Sierra Sound System whistle blowing in Mook's backyard as th Mighty Big Boy hauls a string of boxcars around the Gazania's..... [bow]


I'm SO bad...[:D]
I could do the backyard - the landlord already put ballast down - just need to haul in some track....The Big Boy wouldn't have to work - just sit there and make noise!

Oh Skeets - you always have such an effect on me - you make me drool!
Let's just keep this between you and me, however!

I posted again over there, but really have to say goodbye to them. They were very nice to the Mookie and didn't twist her tail once (course most of them are from over here!)
Gave my reasons for not doing a layout. You will have to read them there.

But told the Driver on the way home last nite, we have the nicest people in the world on our train forums. He smiled!

Hey she forum jumped not once but several times. I think she may well be "hooked" now. [;)]

That desk layout may be in the works. [:p] Might have to be N scale though. OR if she went with "Z" then we could call her Mookiz. [:D] [;)] [:D]

Mookie,

If you have a basement, that'll be a great home for a model railroad. [:D]

Plus, running model trains is good when the weather won't let you and driver go to trackside [;)]

Take care,

Russell
All the Way!

Would my small picture of Big Boy suffice? It is on the wall, not even in a drawer!

I think maybe someday I will stop on over there. I too prefer the real thing. All I have is about 200 HO locomotives and 400 cars that sit in a box cause funds are tight to build something...and time. By the way...It's all CP/SOO stuff...hehe...not WC!

Mookie, I think I've visited their diner once. Maybe one of these days, I'll stop in and
visit them again.

Like I said, you probably lost all credibility on the Model Forum. But it was a nice place to visit. Not sure I would want to live there.....

Red Letter Day Mookie Visits MR Forum (Or The Day The Earth Stood Still)
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 16, 2004 2:29 AM
SPECIAL Edition of the Forum Flyer (Tongue In Cheek of Course )


RED LETTER DAY Mookie Visits Model Railroader Forum


Neeeeebrraaaassssskey, Somewhere in the United States


Today the earth stood still as THE event of the millennium took place. Mookie, YES, MOOKIE, graced the Model Railroad Forum with her presence. MR forum members were in AWE of her Highness and dazzled by her sparkling Tiara. Trains.magazine forum members were simply speechless when news of her first forum jump became public. Which thread did the royal kitty visit? Moi was checking out Vic Smith's future purchase for his model railroad. You can also visit his thread: http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=21415
and see for yourself her dissertation. This historical event no doubt has left the forum administrators with grins on their faces (and possibly chocolate cake) in celebration of this special occasion. When and which thread will the Mookster visit next? Sources close to the feline are withholding information as the kitty purrs with glee over her first successful forum jump.
