I also do cola ("the real thing") most of the time, with and without caffeine. Right now have a Dr P going. Water a lot as well.

Only sugar. Never know if in 5 to 10 years they will tell you the new fangled sweeteners are bad for you and I already know sugar is not good but it is more natural. Don't hate me for this but no coffee.

One steam, the rest (4) diesel. One caboose (so far). It seems like every other car has different couplers so it can't be used all the time. I need to standardize.

Track power. Adirondack chair with a view of most of the track and within reach of the powersuply.
Thank you, Jaime

Depends on the time of day. I like the real thing best, but usually go for the walmart substitute.

Do the Dew for me, unless it's at a fountain dispensor, then its a 50-50 cola, diet cola mix.

Cant drink coffee, coffee makes me CRAZY!

   Have fun with your trains

Train-me,

Thanks. I took a bunch of photos this past weekend but have not had a chance to post any yet. I took some short quicktime movies and have no idea how to post them. Have you gotten anything with your new camera phone yet?
Thank you, Jaime

Only hi-test old fashion cola.

Coffee with whitener

24 Steam with a couple large diesels to clean my track.

Pure track power and on-board receivers, no stinken batteries.
Even eliminated the batteries for sound and run from track power.

I'm unsure about Pepsi but Coke produces some with real sugar that is marketed to Jewish super markets here in the states, we of the non jewish faith call it simply passover coke.
Easily idenifyable by a yellow lid I believe.

I guess one could "fiddle" a bit longer, but starting with a really pixilated image doesn't help.

Sweet tea. All cola is evil and will rot your guts and make you weak minded and fat while making huge corporations insanely rich by selling you water with a drop of licorice for a 3,000% mark up. Be glad your car doesn't run on cola.

way to go, Capt Turk! Give me a nice thick cut of red meat, grilled with a little Jack D sauce and a big thermos of black coffee to keep me happy. Did you know that the government spent millions on a study that concluded people that eat a low fat, healthy diet die anyway?

Train-me,

I like your photo. I think it is pretty good from a phone. I have seen a lot worse from expensive cameras.
I do not live very close to any tracks but my accupuncturest is right on a main line so I have been trying to schedule my appointments to see the most trains trains. Seems like 9:00 am to 10:30am there are commuter, Amtrak (Downeaster), and freight one after the other. Only been able to take this one photo so far.
Thank you, Jaime
