Model trains aren't often in cartoons, so I noticed this one this morning, Dagwood strip, in the Washington Post paper. Just in case any of you want to look it up.  . I won't give away the tale, it's rather humorous, and involves passenger cars and Dagwood's legendary appetite.  HOpe you can find it!

I agree, very funny.
So, here's a link http://www.blondie.com/strip.php that shows the current strip. If you don't see it today (Friday, Sept 16, 2011) then you'll have to search the site via its calendar.
Cheers
Bill

hehe funny Just like me having 5 combines & a few locos & a mountain of cabooses
Is's it wild that Blondie 1st appeared in the papers in 1930? 
The last time I saw a train in comics was when For Better Or Worse did a G scale train I believe that was the 1990s sometime hehe
