Coming soon!!!!

 Luke Slicewalker meets Dark Toaster!!!!

Somewhere in a dark tunnel along the galactic mainline as the Millenium Toaster loco speeds on, all the dipatchers giving the Millenium Toaster the right of way as it highballs with our heroes Han Solotoaster( our engineer)  and Wookietoaster(our brakeman) and Luke Slicewalker aboard as it races to save the Boobyprize from Jellico and his gang as they attempt to derail the great toast thread and short circuit and burn out the decoders aboard the Boobyprize as it ventures on into new unexplored territory in the Toast Complaint thread, LURRRRRRKKKKSSSSSS Dark Toaster!!!!!

to be continued!

That reminds me of the Little Red Hen story. (Perhaps the creative writers out there will weeve that into the Star Trek stuff.) S0, did the Little Red Hen toast her bread before feeding it to her chicks?

WAIT!!

What's this????
The Great Toastmaster who spent so much of his time rasing his wheat to be made into the finest bread of which the finest toast was made!Not only this he raised a son Luke Slicewalker, who studied under his father the Great Toastmaster, to become the next GreatToastmaster and carry the family toast tradition on, now sees that the Toast Thread must go on, so he grabs his automatic ray beam bread slicer, and boards the new high speed intergalactic toast ship locomotive, "The Millenium Toaster" with his friends , "crusty pilot" Han Solotoast and the stepson of the "Little Red Hen" the trusty but fuzzy looking Wookietoaster,who so appreciated his stepmothers daily feedings of her chicks with nourishing toast and beloved stepson "Wookietoast and they head out  on the mainline to save the great toast ship the "Boobyprize" from "Jellitron" and his moldy toast gang!

They speed across the new intergalactic mainline, as anything slower pulls off onto solar sidings allowing the "Millenium Toaster" to highball to the rescue!

As they speed on, they hear a voice........

MAY THE TOAST BE WITH YOU!!!!! 

To be continued.......!!!

Beware Toast Ship Boobyprize, you are approaching the Klinga Toast planet "Green Moldy Bread" and it's space ship " Bad Bread".Our leader "Jellitron the Great"Pirate [oX)]  has instructed us to short circuit your heating elements and disable your decoders.
We will fire upon you with old dried out raisins if you come any closer!!
Jellitron has authorized us to spread our sticky jelly force field around you until you mold, and turn green and your ditch lights and Mars lights go out for good!

I think that toaster needs at least a 4-wheel trailing truck. Is it hand-fired, or does it have an automatic stoker? Chef [C=:-)]

Rye, Wheat,Raisin, Pumpernickel, or White toast? Or does anyone prefer extra butter or cinammon
on their toast?
Perhaps some honey?

ALLLLL ABOARRRRRD!!!!! The Toast Express is pulling out and haeding for 20 pages!

Jarrell, what a novel idea!  Great photo!  Is that the new digital multi-driver toaster that was supposed to be announced by Broad Slice Imports, like, a year ago now?  I think Tony's Toaster Exchange had a preview evaluation on it.  They gave it two thumbs up. Thumbs Up [tup] Thumbs Up [tup]

Well all you need now is a fllatcar with a lithium powered flat grill to cook the bacon and eggs and sausage, then have it rigged so when it stops at the station, it tilts up and slides the eggs , bacon and sausage onto a plate.
maybe put the lithium  cells in a special boxcar, and run a power cable to the flat grill car!
Hmmm, while you're at it, put a lithium powered reefer car with an unloading platform to unload the orange juice, like those old Lionels used to unload the barrels or milk cans.
Maybe even a tanker with coffee, that way, you have toast, coffee, juice, and eggs and bacon and sausage all on one train.
Now all you have to do is add a citrus grove, a coffee plantation, a hog farm, some chicken coops and the associated processing plants!

Oh yeah, we don't want to forget the wheat field for the grain to make the toast!

Sorry Old Man! You may have to try the Classic Toy Train forum as they cater more to the 3 rail crowd. But then again with toast you should be able to cater to anyone~ Caviar anyone?

Wow very prototypical! Though you may want to weather it with some scale crumbs.

Hmmmm, how do you keep this plugged in while it's steaming around the layout?
Must take a very unique extension cord.
Do you have a  "CRUMB PIT" in your engine service yard to dump the crumbs into?

Speaking of toast.....

Anyone seen or remember the old 1970's movie Five Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson playing the character Bobby Dupea. In the diner scene where he orders some.....well...here are quotes from the diner scene:

[Bobby wants to order plain toast, which isn't on the menu]
Bobby: I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.

That's creative, jacon12.  There may have to be a toaster category in the next national convention of the NMRA.  You could be the winner.

K4kid mentioned Athearn may produce a toaster car. To me that sounds like something Lionel would have done. Perhaps, they could sell a train called the "Breakfast Special". Each car could make a deffernet item on the menu. Just don't push the "Pop Toast" button on a curve!
