Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 19, 2005 11:33 AM
Hey Everyone,

Just dropping a line to celebrate!. I am now officially 23 years old today!

Oh[bday]to me
Oh[bday]to me
Oh[bday]dear me
Oh[bday]to me.

what am I getting my self to celebrate?

A Bachman 2-6-2 with an exellently proportioned Scratchbuilt Vanderbuilt tender off ebay.

Also while I was busy spending birthday money, I renewed my magazine subscriptions, Purchased a building kit for a town on my planned layout, and placed an order for a 2006, Walthers Catalog, MR Calender, and GN Decals from Walthers.

Well thats all for now.

Oh [bday] to me!

James.

I didn't get all that for my birthday. The 2-6-2 is my "Spcial thing" that I got with my birthday money. The rest is what I got with what was left. But had to get anyway.

As for adopting you. Sure. I need a new apprentice. My best friend who was helping me seems more interested in sitting on stools breaking rule G than helping me get the trains running. The layout I will start building soon is in a bedroom and it will be over two beds. You can have one. Just get your butt to Lander WY and we will go from there.! :D

Oh if you wi***o bring any HO equipment along so it can be properly operated feel free to do so. Alll I ask is all locos be equipped with DCC which I can install if not.

(By the way. If you are serous on that claim, so am I with my offer)

Thanks everyone for your support.

James.

Yeah, my Internet was down so I couldn't announce my 60 on the 13th. Fellows, you know, at the age of 50 you have a choice to count the number of years you have lived or the number of years you still plan on living. That makes me 40. [;)][:D]

I am glad that I have made myself memorable. As for the Challenger and the Grayhound Painscheme, the 3900s are still georgous machines, and the Grayhound Scheme is still a georgous paint scheme. Its just the company who had both, no longer earns my respect eneugh publicly support.

(Please keep this secret, [;)] when no one is around I lock the doors close the curtains and pull out my selection of Grayhound 4-6-2s 4-8-4s and 4-6-6-4s to run on my layout. But you didn't hear that from me)

This could get interesting, James. 23-year old you, adopting a 57-year old son! People will talk! (Which, BTW, is an EXCELLENT movie!)

But you never can tell. I've been through WY and found it to be a beautiful place. Didn't spend enough time there, IMO. Might want to come back sometime. Thanks for the offer of the bed. I will let you know if I'm heading your way!

I NEVER, EVER violate rule G. Period. Okay, once, but that was YEARS ago! LOL

Sorry, very little HO (just what was saved from my teenage-era many moons ago!). All N scale now, but not DCC yet. Does that spoil everything?

Darrell, wishing you more happy birthdays, quietly...for now
