"Electric trains"
Posted by tatans on Tuesday, September 25, 2007 4:32 PM
Saw an ad for some guy who buys "Electric trains"  when was the last time YOU  used that term?? I forgot all about it , but I remember that's all I ever referred to when I was a child, sooooo--- maybe we should change the name of this site to 'ELECTRIC TRAINS & STUFF"

Yes, as a matter of fact I do.Smile [:)]

However, with their pizza cutter flanges I doubt if I'll get much use out of them since I'm using code 83 and code 70 track on my layout.Sad [:(]

I don't see where this is all that odd. I still call trains "electric trains" when I'm explaining to people what my favorite hobbies is.

Maybe it's an age-related thing, kind of like calling a refrigerator an "icebox". I know I still call them electric trains on occasion too.
