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?

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

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

Tonight the K4 Pennsy Diner will be serving BLT on toast, get your oreders in early!

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

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!

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????

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!

Fried eggs, anybody?

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.

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?

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?

Actually the plug is only used to recharge the Lithium-ion batteries used to power the elements - motive power is of course supplied in the usual way.  1 charge does 10 toasts including popping them up and out at the stations as it passes by.

Enjoy

If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

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!

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]

I am raising a toast to all of us for keeping this going for 14 pages!!!

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!

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=:-)]
