Personally, I think Mookie should be able to pick her own colors for stars - or maybe she could get five little cats.

Ed - You wore a santa hat with reindeer horns last Christmas?! Sounds like fun![;)]

Mookie, how about a deep blue, or your favorite, green, for your next set of stars?
Or you could ask for another tiara, maybe a Kalmbach ball cap or something.

Ed

could be chocolate cupcakes for the next set of stars?[:)]

Mook--------good shot, there. Congratulations and all.

Now, I didn't see any chock-o-cake. Please pass the stuff. In need of comfort food.

Now, we need to see pictures of MudChicken, Ed, LimitedClear.

Funding for the animated star-replacement display has been provided by Runzas...

Well, kiddo, now that you've hit the milepost (no damage, I hope!), I see that you're stuck with the same ol' five stars. Must be the military-industrial complex...five is all you get. Frustrating.

Clemente - welcome to the forums![:D]

As Madam la Mook has observed many times - Anywhere but where you are watching trains![:(] (Not always, but it sure seems that way sometimes.)

You'll find that we digress from time to time to chat about "the family" and things not very close to railroads. Fear not, though, there is plenty about trains to found here. Read on, and enjoy.

Welcome! They are where I can't get at them right at the moment. But just wait - I am going to go get some this weekend. Meanwhile - keep reading the other postings. Some of them even pertain to trains!

Clemente,

Welcome to the forum!! We sometimes get derailed, but not intentionally. We just love
to talk about trains and everything or anything else that pops into our heads. Some of
us even try to make it interesting to draw others into the mix. Be sure to check out our
Depot Diner & Coffee Shop. Things get REAL interesting in the Depot Diner!!

Maybe I'll have to readjust the star levels to take Mookie into account. Five's the max our system allows. If I move the star levels, some of you might lose stars. [:0]

Would you guys like me to let you know when a new installment of Trackside with Erik and Mike goes live on Trains.com? If Modelcar - a core user - didn't know about it, I'm afraid there might be others in the same boat.

What do you think?
