HUGE TOAST COMPLAINT!

[loathar]

I wonder if my 0-8-0 smoke unit works the same way?

[IRONROOSTER]

Does a UP toaster cost more?

 

Can I get one in brass?

Enjoy

I've got one of the limited-edition 5-DCC model toasters from last year's April MR.  Simple one-button user interface, with an additional analog control dial to set the light-dark CV.  I found that if I set that CV to the max value (255) then I get real smoke.  What an effect!

[Dave Vollmer]

I had an English muffin this morning.  With DCC and sound.

I have a HUGE complaint about WAFFLES! What is up with those things. I mean really! You pour the batter in and bake it, and then it sticks to the top of the press! Mrs. Pam isn't around so she can't help.

Sorry guys I just had to do it. But my toast comes out perfect. Not to dark(BURNT) but not to floppy. And if you don't like the tosters, then use a blow torch.

Say goast 10 times, then most 10 times. What do you put in a toster?

 

Try the frozen waffles.  You can cook them in a...TOASTER!

Okay, Here is the real question. Should you go for the toaster in N scale, HO scale or O scale or one to one so that Bagels can be toasted.

Yes O scale; bagels; butter and strawberry jam

[yougottawanta]

Yep, I think you have to go O . I have HO and the toast just will not fit. Homemade apple butter please.

Since the first two posts that started this are basically identical, it is just weird.  As someone who has been off for a couple of weeks and just came back to this, I gotta tell ya its kinda ridiculous and outta hand here.  Nothing wrong with having fun, but this is just getting confusing.  Besides didn't we establish long ago that both DC and DCC have their good and bad in different situations?  And as for bad running of locos at slow speeds..you can't use a train set power pack, all there is to it.  Leave it for accessories or what have you.  Well, I have to go take some aspirin now..

Sinc we have another HUGEcomplaint thread I couldn't resist bumping up this thread.

With a complaint about toast!

In our toaster if you only toast one slice of bread the other side is burnt so you scrape it off and by the time you do that your toast is cold. So you stick it back in on the shortest setting to warm it back up again in the other spot this time then the oppisite side.So by the time you finish scraping off the burnt stuff it's cold again and since you realize that this will go n untill the bread isn't there anymore you have cold dry toast with burnt spots on it . 

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Get a new toaster.

[cheese4432]

We would except for the fact that this is the only toaster we've had that's lasted more than a year. I think we've had it for 6 years or more I'm not sure though, and it can toast four slices at once!

[jesrr]

I returned my toaster. It was to big for my turntable

See dragon-fired unit above.

What I hate is that butter goes rancid if you keep it on the counter, so you have to keep it in the fridge. But then when you want toast it's hard as a rock and tears up the bread, and then you have cold toast with colder butter on it. If you try to soften it in the microwave, it turns into yellow oil and is no good for spreading, which is a lousy way to start off the morning.

 

[WCfan]

Well you guys asked for it and I did it. You wanted a DCC toaster that makes the pefect toast and have a UP paint scheam. I did it. Now I can controll my toaster from 100 feet away! Even better when I moutned it to some track and added sound to it. It was pretty cool untill the engery bill came.

Doesn't happen down here........

I tried putting the butter on before I toasted the bread, but my dragon keeps licking it off.

So Sad

ROFL

I got a stupid dragon who keeps burning his own tongue, so I don't have that problem.

We were cleaning out the basement tonight when I found a Toastmaster model DC143 4 slice toaster from the 80s!  I immediately thought of this thread.

By the way, our new toaster is a 4 slice DC with the Uberbutton package (it includes over ten buttons and has the classic resistor based throttle control.)

Toastmaster model DC143 4 slice toaster

A Toastmaster DC143 4 slice toaster??  I have heard that they have up to a DC159 now!!  And I can only afford a DC147.

I sure wish I could afford one of those 9999 slice toasters that allows you to burn a 4-digit number into your toast...but you have to have special house wiring to run it.  Plus it costs over 500 dollars, and you have to put it in a seperate building because of the sheer heat it generates.

I'm still waiting for drop-in decoders for my toast...

I still run an analog toaster.  It fills my simple needs, and doesn't confuse my simple mind.

Get with the program!  Analog toast is so 1950s!  The future of toast is digital!  If you can't hang with the digital toasters, then you may as well quit toasting now!

DCC lets you toast different slices of bread to different levels of brown (or black) at the same time!

Jeez, you DC toasters are just scared of new technology...

[MisterBeasley]

Does anyone know if you can download a sound file for French Toast for a DigiToast decoder?

Haven't seen French Toast... but they do have English Muffin

[Dave Vollmer]

Haven't seen French Toast... but they do have English Muffin

English muffins look decidedly different than their North American counterparts.  It could be the buffers, or that they're smaller, or maybe it's the overall clean lines of an English muffin.

I'm sure our resident English muffin expert will correct me if I'm wrong here...

English muffins are an acquired taste!

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I just got a T-2-a 2-10-2 toaster. I wonder what tiny decoder I can get to put in it.

You young whippersnappers have it WAY too easy. Back in my day, we had to scratchbuild our toasters because they weren't available commercially. Not only did we have to build the chassis, we had to make our own heating wire and if you didn't get the resistance right, all you got was a short circuit and a blown fuse.

We also had to build our own fuses.

The last time CTT (Classic Toy Toasters) had an article on scratchbuilding one was back in 1982/83. It's about time there was another one.
