Incredible... Absolutely incredible! 228 posts and no mention of whether ornot this Toaster is NMRA compliant, Minimum radius of the toast in question or if the toast comes undecorated?

This begs the question to be asked...

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

You and the other toast dilettantes are the reason the toast hobby is dying. Get serious about it. Toast is not only the World's Greatest Breadform, it's also art.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

Silly Garry, Pop Tarts are for kids. No serious toast modeler would be caught dead eating them (quickly brushes fruit filling from face). Whistling [:-^]

Anybody out there help me?

This might help , we bond rail gaps with it and it's mostly portable,just don't let the power company know. The 600v bond welders out to toast a whole loaf, for those days when unexpected company drop by.

Butter?

That's archaic. Real toast modelers know that Country Crock makes a much better shim.

Well I Can't help you on the manual part but if you want to avoid flying crumbs just use the newly imported chinese toast. It contains so much lead that they just fall not fly. Just remember to toast outside. Toxic fumes and all.

I've got a friend on the inside at Apple.  It's not common knowledge, but they've already signed up Bread, Meat Loaf and Pearl Jam for the release of their iToast campaign in the spring.  They've replaced the outmoded 33 1/3 RPM turntable with a modern iWaffle.

Well, I used to use Toast, but My new Mac does the job so much better using iTunes that Toast is now relegated to the trash bin.  Come on guys!  Toast is obsolete!  Nobody who knows what they are doing uses Toast anymore.  Even Windoz from Micro$oft does a better job than Toast.  Get with it, will ya?  The new stuff just burns it so much better.

This is why Toast is dying.  We just can't attract any new members who understand what Toast is all about.  The World's Greatest ... campaign is a failure. Sigh [sigh]

Enjoy

I'm new at this club thing, so I'd appreciate any hints about normal expectations from a Toast Club.  Does everyone typically bring their own bread, and then just toast that, or do members usually share each others' toast?  Are there usually rules about what kinds of bread are allowed to be toasted in the club's toasters, and which kinds are excluded?

I'd really be interested in a club which specializes in Classic Toy

Toast, because I've got a freezer full of old bread downstairs, but I just don't know how to find those people.



All I know about these toast clubs is that you had not better take your toast out of the toaster until the toast dispatcher say's you can.

This just in......

BMI (Breakfast Made Inside) has just announced the new TQ-1800H

The Toast Quick 1800 per hour...

This bad boy can pump out 1800 slices of toast an hour, and for you crumb fans it has an easily removable crumb tray. Great for carying around your freshly made ground cover material. If you want a darker color ground cover, just turn up the heat. With 240 volts and 60 Hz, this unit will have you cookin' with Crisco in no time!

Heck, you can deliver 120 customers 2 slices of toast in just about 8 minutes, just think of the switching possibilities.

Note: Not intended for outdoor garden layouts.
