Hey, the last time my cat went on Ebay, we had $2500 in freaking cat toys delivered to the door the next week!


You should have a Great Ape who buys on eBay...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Santa brought me an Athearn Challenger Greyhound, a Heritage 0-6-0, a Digitrax DS64, various pieces of track that I need, various scienery stuff and $150 of MBK gift certificates.  All-in-all, quite the Christmas for me!

Oh, well... I guess it's the thought that counts...

Oh man, I laughed so hard on this one it hurt.... thanks...!

Ditto Here!!!!  My wife enjoyed it too!!!  Thanks Lee.

No N scale loot under the tree but I did get a copy of "The Hocking Valley Railway" by Edward Miller, from my Mother-in-Law, of all people.   ???  After all these years who knew she was paying attention?  (My wife claims she had nothing to do with the gift choice.   ;))

Best Christmas gift of all:  Time to clear out one of the rooms in the basement so at least part of Spencer can be reassembled.  That's the goal for tomorrow.   ;D

Spencer, NC?  If so, YOU DAH MAN!

Lauren gave me some MT 39' tank cars, the paint, and decals to make some DODX tankers.  My dad gave me an ABBA set of sharks.  The Sharks have been running all day.

SquirrelHollow, I thought the "even-fire 3.8L" was the worst GM V-6 ever made, but the 2.8 is probably a close second. ANY inline 4 GM ever made was a mistake. Busted knuckles on 3.8's and 4 bangers of my cousin's. I used to be his mechanic, but I retired. Kinda shame, since he's got a big Mercury with the 4.6L...not another worn-out piece of crap....yet. ::)

TiVo, you mind if I re-gift your coal to General Motors for ever designing the 2.8L V6?  Worst engine ever conceived...
Please
be my guest, glad to have never owned one...

Beware the cat shopping eBay for a Chessie C-truck loco with a missing truck sideframe...

Received a new Dell, 2.4Ghz dual core processor laptop with all the goodies.  Train related? Of course, I will use it to write and test JMRI scripts for my new layout.  It will also run Train Simulator, and a friend in Canada has built the exact route of the FJ&G to use in the simulator, so I can now run, with simulator, the exact layout I am building. Neat!

I met three ghosts this Christmas. 

Train past, trains presant and oddly all things considered.....trains future.

I wonder what it all must mean.....

i bought my first airbrush last year to paint the rails of my N-Trak module and haven't used it since.  my plan is to strip the C630 shells and give them a nice coat of Brunswick green.  if it doesn't work out, the shells are available from Atlas :)

may the force be with you...

I got a Pentrex Montana Rail Link DVD, an Atlas Dash 8-40B in LMX livery, and then I also bought myself a Digitrax decoder for the 8-40B, a Loksound micro sound decoder that I'm going to try to cram in one of the two SD-45's I picked up off ebay that I will be detailing and painting for MRL.  Not bad for me! I've asked for train stuff for years and never recieved anything so I'm happy that I actually got some trains stuff this year.

Oh yeah, I also spent christmas in Missoula, MT and was able to spend a little time railfanning the MRL there. I got some video and pictures that I'm sure will help my layout.
