<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="ccaranna"][quote user="Allegheny2-6-6-6"] <P> My wife just reminded me of her only visit to the Timonium train show with me in Maryland. It wasn't really an obnoxious patron but more of a comical one.<BR></P> <P>Off to the side in one of the building where they display the live steam loco's, and the some of the larger club layouts up front where all the live steam stuff was displayed they had a manikin dressed as a conductor, a skinny old caricature with more wrinkles then carter has pills and who was supposed to be as old as time it self. Well this frail old gentlemen who had to be in his late 80's or even 90's dressed in his own train show garb, asked the dummy what time it was as it was holding a pocket watch in it's one hand. Of course there was no answer so he asks again!, no people are watching this spectacle and still nothing comes out of the dummy's mouth so he asked one more time raising his voice, what the <B>Blank!</B> <B>dammed</B> time is it you <B>blank!</B> when he did not get his answer a slew of curse words came out of his mouth that would have made a Teamster blush and he just moseyed on his way. Myself and a couple of guys next to me were crying we were laughing so hard.<BR></P> <P>[/quote] Hilarious. Sounds like the show was worth the trip.[/quote]</P> <P>I think I saw that mannequin for sale in a recent Historic Rail catalog. I would have considered getting it for a Halloween decoration if it wasn't 600 bucks. </P>
