...about the arrival of a new locomotive?
YouTube - Bachmann Spectrum SY Mikado 142 IS HERE!!!
I get excited too, but I don't think my voice has ever climbed three octaves.  This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

If I got a brand new Vollmer Coal Conveyor (700.00 MSRP!) I might get as excited as that, but probably not a loco

Wow...I like getting new trains and all, but jeez. I'm surprised he didn't start screaming hysterically like a girl at a boy-band concert.

To paraphrase Dieter from Sprockets, he's all excited like a little giiirl...
I was more composed than this when I got a Big Boy at the age of 12.
But if you do embarrass yourself this badly when you get a new loco, don't tape it and post it on the interenet!

In the words of Harry Hartounian from "The Jerk"...

Oh dear! That is a worry. I was expecting something a bit more than an oval of track on plywood on the floor when he ran up those stairs with a nice new Spectrum loco.
Also when we're being asked to admire the detail via a dark and blurry picture.  Quite funny though. Let's all be happy for him though. And wonder what he'd be like working in a hobby shop when new stock arrived.
By the way, are those SYs as hard to get as he makes out? As far as I know, I can still order them from the local Bachmann distributor here.

Bachmann has done at least two runs of them, so I don't think they're that hard to find. I bought mine at the LHS from the first run, and I promise I didn't sound like that.

That was lulz. I'm sure I must've been that excited at some point...I just can't remember when Actually, that kinda reminds me of a vid I have posted...the difference though is that mine was staged
And about the video itself, alot of high traffic vids on youtube are like that. Anyone ever seen Boxxy!?

as happy as he got i figured he had a grand layout, more than he did anyways. i guess you got to start somewhere. i would get that happy or maybe a little more than he did if it was a gold plated scale lionel hudson that showed up on my door (for free). i would giggle like a school girl. gigady gigady gigady
