Does anyone know when BLI is coming out with a firebox toast accessory so you can put your toast in the firebox, run it around  the layout, pull onto the siding and pull it out and enjoy it with your morning coffee?
I also heard that Athearn has been monitoring this thread and is looking into a toaster  car, something like special boxcar with power pickups on the bottom of the car that contact the track and makes you toast on the go!

Apparently only available in HO scale at the moment.It's said to be both DC and DCC compatible!
You don't suppose someone is trying to jerk our toast chain do you????

Had to have my toast at the Heidelburg this morning.  Only a few yards from the Reading Mainline and guess who got to sit facing the window and the trains?  NOT ME! 
Proud to be DD-2itized! 1:1 scale is too unrealistic. Twins are twice as nice!

Sunday dinner at the K4 Diner will  be creamed tuna over toast!
Also green peas, corn on the cob, and maybe some sliced tomatoes.
Who is sponsoring breakfast?

The toast must be getting stale. I found this on page two.

Well, I've spent the last two days going through this entire thread without stumbling upon the answer to my question. I have a box full of old O-27 toasters. You know the kind; they have three slots. Is there any reason why I can't run HO scale toast between the slots?

All toast is not equal. Texas toast for example, would not very likely to run well on minimum-radius ("kitchen table") layouts.

NMTA standards for compliance have yet to be approved. This is why some brands of toasters do not play well with others.

Has anyone determined where the toast came from and who made it?

Maybe Al should try to be constructive, and start a how-to thread called The Mayo Clinic.

I need to speed compenstate my toast between my DCC toasters.  One burns a lot faster than the other.  Does anybody have any tips how to do this?

Pry the toast out with a fork before it burns. Big Smile [:D]

  Have you tried adjusting the speed step settings,that or make sure that all the bread matches the NMRA's recomended slice thickness and is crust width compliant,thinner non-conforming bread will toast faster.

I can not believe how far off topic this thread has gotten!  I admit that I have been guilty of straying myself, but Thermonuclear Toasters, cream cheese and poptarts are not what we were discussing in the beginning.

 The topic is "HUGE TOAST COMPLAINT!"  Where are the trolls when they are needed??????  If you all can not stay on topic... I'm toast.

Later,

Bob

Is French toast really toast, or just battered & fried bread?

I am interested in getting the ToastMaster Tu-Slice.  Some threads here have complained that it doesn't meet National Bread Slicing Standard ST-25 for slice thickness.  Any help here would be appreciated.  BTW, if it makes any difference, I am using McGavin's 100% whole wheat.

This begs the question to be asked...

What came first? the Toaster or the Toast... 

It all depends on the Toaster, some are some aren't.  Minimum radius depends on the era of the toaster.  But if you want really good toast, try the coffee shop across the street.  I hear rhoward is buying this month.  (Well somebody hasn't paid his bill in a long while!)

We'll get there sooner or later!
