All good things come to an end. Let's get on with other ideas, fellow members.

How about some pictures of it on the layout in all its glory?
Black toast popping up, streaming smoke behind it, would look very realistic! LOL!What RR is it pulling for?
Here's a shot of my new homebrew DCC system.
I had a little trouble getting the top back on, but I always figure the more wire, the better.

concretelackey,
Sorry but the HO sesame seed buns are on BACKORDER as well as the Z mayo. The train got stuck on a 4% grade that should have been a 2% grade. They apparently don't subscribe to Trains.com Forum and thereforehad to learn the hard way.
Besides they had about 50 cars coupled behind an old Bacmann 4-6-2 and the pooor thing just took one look at that grade and burned up as it started up.Rumor has it, a new can motor is on order for it.Perhaps someone on the forum will loan the use of a good BLI J1 to push the whole train on up the grade and over to Elliots Trackside Diner, otherwise sounds like supper and breakfast time are not going to be a happy affair at the diner.It's also been suggested the grade be removed and replaced with a new 2% W/S grade kit.

Does this"talky toaster" come in only a DCC sound version system or is also offered in a Blue Line version also?
Any twisted people watch Red Dwarf ?If so you'll know the toaster with OCD.For who dont know,its no other than talky toaster.

yep, it needs to discharge horizontally into a flat car!
Hmmm, okay, let's see, paint it Tuscan Red, add a pantograph, a head light, some gold stripes, a Keystoone emblem, two sets of trucks , and two Kadee couplers, one on each end, andf I think we're in business!

GG1 toaster, you see, anyone who wants to make some good cash should start to think about stuff like that. think about it! put it on a pedistal with track, build the loco around a standard 2 slice toaster (as the cab) then use the pantograph to put the toast down.
the sad thing is that i am going to think about this for a long time and consiter making one out of brass for myself.

See, if you upgrade to the high-end wireless toaster system, you wouldn't have these problems.Besides, the high-end toasters allow you to operate like a real chef. Run your toast, not your toaster!

Take your toaster over to Dave's layout and hook it up inline with his 11,000 volt overhead catenary lines, and you'll DEFINETLY get almost burned toast!See later in this thread Dave's own toast example that high voltage ( 11,000 volts) does the job! hee hee hee
I am going to have to get to work on a PRR GG1 toaster that puts a "Keystone" logo on the toast!
I wish these would be added to the Malibu line.
Have a theory here....the thermal energy created by the toasting effort may be collected into a steam turbine connected to a generator powering the toasters which of course produces thermal energy.
Dave, for the record I have not once accused or abused you or your lack of toasting abilitys. I only pointed out 2 things-
1- I think the paint was baked in and
2- the supporters of spaghetti and toast will rise up.

Serves him right for putting 11,000 volts through his catenary.
So that's how he does it!!!!
See Dave is staying quiet, guarding his secret painting methods from us! LOL!
I wonder if the "baking oven" is a DCC controlled toaster type and what the wattge and amperage it uses, also wonder if he can control it with a hand held throttle????
How about it Dave?

Has the new toast with DCC and sound been released yet?

Gossssshhh Dave, I hope you do a better job of grilling steaks on the barbie than you did with this toast???I'll bet Dave's kitchen could be easily mistaken for a PRR M1 smokebox! LOL!
Sorry Dave, I couldn't resist!!! LOL!A fellow PRR fan.TheK4Kid
