I just say that when material bombs horribly, because what are you supposed to say at that point?

At that point you just start a new thread, add lots of ******* to the subject and post the link over and over and over and over.

I dunno what you're talking about, Kremmit. That's comedy gold right there.....like, almost as funny as an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond"!

I think this thread is so wanked up that Saint will never tell us what he is building...

I prefer HO scale rather then N. I had a really cool 3 Line layout in highs school.

There are a lot of HO and N jokes here.

Ding ding ding! You get a prize for observation! They're not, however, Marklin - they're Fleischman. Marklin and Fleischman were both big train producers when I was a younger lad in Germany.

Cool looking trains...

They are not Marklin by any chance, are they?

How long have you been collecting trains, Saint?

Do you have an actual working layout for the trains Saint?

My father and I have a pretty large N-Scale layout in the unfinished part of our basement. It's a "J" shaped layout roughtly 20' x 12' ... it's not really even half way done though, since we completely reworked it a year or two ago, and never really got back into the swing of it

I love them though, they are tons of fun. And I really prefer N scale over HO.... you can do so much more with less space. Those Z scale guys are insane though

It reminds me of Silver Spoons. You need a little Ricky Schroeder to ride in it.

saint · « **Reply #133 on:** September 06, 2006, 04:50:25 pm »

Heh. I don't mean to be snobbish, but I really do prefer the German trains to the American ones -- presumably because I was born and raised in Germany until I was 11. Now, I *do* like the American steam engines . . .

Anyway, I'd guess I'm about 40% through with the project so far

Hey, I had the same cardboard fireplace when I was a kid...The box it came in came with a cardboard snowman too!

You need a train car with a message holding clip on it so you can just drive the train upstairs to the wife with a message saying you've got another long day ahead of you and won't be up today. Also that she should bring you some snacks.

Vigo · « **Reply #144 on:** September 09, 2006, 09:18:56 am »

I don't think trains go upstairs that easily, but a train that ran through multiple rooms would be sweet.

Glaine · « **Reply #145 on:** September 09, 2006, 03:25:48 pm »

Yeah, I just meant if he had a slow slope up his stairs, definatly couldn't go straight up the walls. That still prolly isn't do-able but would be awesome. Then you could have a couple carrier cars for candy bars, maybe quarters.

saint · « **Reply #146 on:** September 09, 2006, 04:04:24 pm »

I actually have a train that climbs inclines. It has a gear underneath it, and you put a strip of teeth down the center of the track. The gear stops it from slipping and gives it the power to climb. It's pretty cool

No, these are 2 rail trains, and can also draw power from overhead

Just read the Journals Saint. Good read. Tell your father thanks for writing them and for serving.

RetroJames · « **Reply #150 on:** September 12, 2006, 05:00:12 pm »

So has anyone actually stated, "Saint's building an elevated train track / set that runs around his ceileing?"

There's so much PP spilling over in this thread it's hard to tell.

Oh and also, "Saint's building an elevated train track / set that runs around his ceileing."
