[alstom]

Okay, call me now it's 330-864-0849 (better not get any prank calls or Bergie will here about it!)


Okay, I admit, that was a stupid threat.........

[Anonymous]

Go ahead and give me your Telephone number so I can call you and continue this discussion in more up to speed manor if you would please.

[Anonymous]

What model would you like to have more than any other, Richard?

[Anonymous]

Well,alrighty then.

[alstom]

Ah darn, I was gonna say a challenger 4-8-8-4! Dang it!!!

Well, anyways, I have to go watch two hour long shows, I'll probably be back around 8:45 to 9:00, don't worry if I'm not back. But just be expecting me then.

[Anonymous]

Wrong, a brass O scale 3-rail 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. And I might also buy a Lionel HO Challenger and some second hand Rivarossi coaches and tag it as an excursion run.

All at the "small" price of $3,700.00

[alstom]

Probably some fancy Broadway Ltd. steam loco?

[Anonymous]

Amen, brother! Speaking of models, guess what I'm buying. I'll give a hint, it's the best loco of all time (to me anyway).

[alstom]

I know.

Let's talk trains, I don't want people to think we're chatting. I've been trying to talk trains and you're the only one that really responds so that doesn't make us chatting but anyways, who thinks they'll get any models this weekend??

I do!

[Anonymous]

Richard, Bergie was getting on your case about the wording of the respnse to my Coffee shop you gave.

[Anonymous]

They ain't my favorites,but I don't hate em' either.

[alstom]

Okay, how about a model of the U Boats or Blomberg units (B23-7-B40-8) and Conventional units (C32-8-C44-9W), built between 1959 and 1977?

Although 1977 was only the end of the Universal series (U Boats). I recently purchased a CSX YN2 B23/B30-7!! Runs great, built by ???, I'd have to go check, loco # 5542. [;)][8D]

[Anonymous]

In response to your question, I like both. As far as the older models are concerned(locos from 1955-1989), I like EMDs. However, when it comes to the newbies, I always, or almost always, put my money on GE.

[alstom]

So do I, and in fact, I'm hoping to purchase a model CSX GE AC6000CW sometime down the road here! There's two at a local hobby shop going for $250, I'm savin' up man!

And don't worry uspscsx, I ain';t starting a poll, I've already started to many.

Although, no-one likes GE, I say I like it just as much a s EMD, can someone give me their opinions and what model you would like, EMD or GE?

Okay, that's a bit more understandable.

And yes, I like GE and EMD. Please, don't start a poll about this. There's been about 300 of them. And a few have turned into a burning inferno of flaming and trolling. Just a heads up.

[Anonymous]

I have more than I know what to do with! Alot of them originate from when I modelled the late seventies to mid eighties. The blessings of modelling a small town that don't change much is that I didn't have to replace any structures, just alot of the vehicles. I still have them they are in a box floating around here somewhere.

Guys, please, this is basically a two-way conversation. Couldn't this go on through one of those instant messaging services?

[alstom]

Yeah, the 40-2 was my favorite loco for some time. I have so many models of it. Including demos and leasers!!

[Anonymous]

I here you on that! I love the look of the older EMDs,especially the SD40-2.

[alstom]

I'm into diesels though. My favorite diesel is between the SD70ACe and the SD70MAC or the AC6000CW (but the SD40-2 ain't bad).

[Anonymous]

Nothing stands up to the mightyest of the mighty, the one, the only Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. Now that's a big beaut.

[alstom]

Ya mean you? The Conrail Ballast Express C32-8s weren't bad, CR owned 10, and I also like their SD60Is.

Although, nuttin' stands up to the al-mighty

SD80MAC

ooga-ooga-ooga-ooga--ooga!

............Nah just kidding, I'm not that retarded!

Oh and Eric, your so called 'competition' just got locked! LOL

[Anonymous]

True, true, but there is one person that don't miss "the Big Blue''.

[alstom]

Yeah, but it is ATSF and 'Conrail' . Now I know everyone misses Big Blue including me, but Conrail just gets old after a while (I'm not offending anyone, so please don't take this seriously).

[Anonymous]

Nah, ATSF and UP now that's a kick***combo right there.

[alstom]

Yeah, but it is Conrail and ATSF (not saying they're bad), but I would like to see some CSX and NS + currentness! LOL

[Anonymous]

Thats actually a pretty nice size model railroad.

[alstom]

YAY, tomorrow, I'm going to Sebring, Ohio to go to a rr club's annual meet open house! It has an 164 x 40' layout! Not bad.
