As my girls would say;
I know right! Buck Rogers meets the Jetsons. Will have to get one of those one day....
BUT, today is the best day, cause we have it. We're not promised even one more. After all aren't the Mayan's killing us all off in a couple of months?

When train travel was really a job.
Make sure you eat after that trip and not before taking that adventure.

The main actor playing the train buff later did the voice of George Jetson in the popular kids show The Jetsons.

Sometimes train store employees get annoying phone calls.
Some interesting possibilities for figures to be placed on your layout.

To see the model train scenes fast forward to the two and a half minute mark.

That Hornby spot had me howling with laughter. One of the most brilliant spoofs I've seen. Thank you, for that.
Surprisingly, I've never watched SNL. Heard about it, just never looked at it. That skit was simply delightful. Thank you, again.

This is not for the weak of heart. Santa Fe fans be warned. You lost one to the East Coast.

Being a spiritual leader must be a job with unique challenges. I am reminded of the principle that if we are created in His image, it follows that we are mini-creators. Fabluous post, WKS, thank you!!

Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer — that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'What is beauty?' because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.
