 Chief !  I can't believe you did that !!! 

I had a deal worked out with Buckey, and Bob K. .  (Since THAT car had all the signatures on it from the CT pot.) 

I had Buckeye  convinced of a trade.  I was going to trade him a PS2 Special Edition converted OHIO car, (as it goes down the track it keeps repeating, "We're going to the Rose Bowl", We're Going to the Rose Bowl").

Then take the car from Buckey (that you destroyed), and send it to Bob K., he had a pair of one of a kind Norfork Suthern engines, which I was going to send to YOU!!!

Man you blew it !!

Now Chief, you can never have too many engines! Besides, I have more room in the trunk and we haven't started to fill the back seat;-) Dennis

I'm with Dennis on that thought, no such thing as too many enginesSmile   Remember, key words, UPS will ship back to your home........ that is if the boss (wife) is at work.  Who knows when you will return to York, and like the used car salesman always says, it's never cheaper than it is today.

Just like Buckeye.  Does not recognize HIS rare and expensive box car [from his post on the "Pot".]  Maybe his eyes are too weak to see the signatures on the side.  Poor Buckeye.

 Jon is right. UPS gives great service. Our driver drops off shipments at the train building (unless they are addressed to Laura).Whistling  Anyone not having room to bring trains home can ship them to me. I will keep them safe, and even test them out for you at no charge.

Chief - When you have time could you put names with the faces, especially the first picture? You I recognize, but the others I am not sure of.

Sorry about the mess we left at the cottage. We planed  to clean it up, but had to get back to the M&D line!Smile,Wink, & Grin

Patrick, will do when I get home [going from here to the lake].

You all know how much I use to fly.  Well, I still have contacts with all of the airlines.  As I hear it, seems there is some guy flying from Columbus OH to Minneapolis drinking Bloody Mary's and asking for a box of tissue.  He is mumbling something about his very rare and expensive box car. Whistling

Packed and checking out.  Have a great weekend.  Later

V-8 instead of tomato juice .... of course ya gotta have that stalk of celery in her . Of couse if the waitress has a high thigh skirt and leans over your shoulder also when serving it .... resting on the shoulder .... who cares what it tastes like !

Ole Timer,

That V-8 is really good and gives a boost, especially with good looking female food and drink servers!

 We have been known to have a bloody mary on occasion (most any occasion really). We use V-8 juice as well, but not familiar with the celery. Do you grind it up or dip it in the bloody mary and take a bite?

That waitress would get a good tip from me!BlushWink I would hear about it when we got outside though.

Chief, thanks for the pictures.  Ditto on the people identification.  Look forward to your posting the names.  You are the only one I know in the pictures so far.

Chief, I think I finally have figured out the who's who in your York pictures.  Thanks again and enjoy your York booty.  Have a good week and get those cucumbers planted.  When they are ripe you can mail me one.

WOW!! I just got a check for $3,000 from the York garbage company.  Something about selling the rare box car I put in the garbage.  Whistling  They wanted to share the profits.

Chief, Are you sure that that isn't a bill for the improper disposal of hazardous material ?

Should be just a couple more weeks.  It's stuck in customs crossing Michigan/Ohio...I hope it's in good enough shape to make it two months on Ohio rails...
