Well if your not a cheapass and actually care about your girlfriend, then Valentines day is a great holiday to spend time together, NOT thinking about trains. I do feel bad for people who think about trains 24/7.

Ya it's expensive but it's worth it. Over the next couple of years I will be saving up to purchase the whole train piece by piece.
I have also seen the hiawatha model. I don't know if you know The protto type modelers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but they own two or three sets of the Milwaukee road. I know for sure they have the orange and maroon set, the 1947 Hiawatha. And they also have the 1955-1960 UP milwaukee road set. All are run by E-units. They also own 6 or 7 more passenger trains in brass. C&NW, NP, the California Zephyr, The Suoer Chief, and so on. I'm pretty sure they have $100,000 or so dollars in passenger trains. it's nuts.
Happy railroading

The NAPM was the place I was thinking of too! I member of the club I belong too is also a member there, and so he told us about an open house they were having after Trainfest this year. They have a very awesome and impressive layout indeed! Lots of time, effort, and money was poured into that layout though. If I were a member there I would just hope we never lost the lease, it'd be a shame to tear it all down....
Rooney, a very neat slide show you've got there. I've always liked those kind of things.....
Michael, are you sure you got a GP45? I've never heard of such a thing, prototype or model. Maybe just a mistype? Either way, Athearn does make decent locomotives. I like them anyway....

it seems that on V-day, no one seems to take into account the heartbroken and the rejected and the lonely. valentines day was invented to make people like me feel worse.
i hate it.
