Good thinking on running trains Trent!
My problem is that I run mine at home mostly alone- it's a worse scenario
than "Home Alone"--except for a couple of chaps like Larry Buerer for eg.
He is young and can chase my King steaming at 150 mph and catch me as I
fall! Not true actually, the King with 4 cyl admission is easy to control.
So in DH and Sacramento I like to run when everything is crowded so I can
show off, push other steamers around (no one hits an old man!) and
generally embarrass myself. This gives me an excuse to console myself at
the bar (as if I need an excuse!) It's the "spirit" of the thing, dontya
know.
I suggest "The Train" be shown in the bar--lots of seating room!
Well. it's off to "hic" with the "hicks" as the family from England has
just left and I need some consoling. Incidentally, I don't go to the local
"hic" bar very often -- but it is owned by an Englishman--the motif is
changing to that of trains and I gave him some lovely posters of Brit
trains. I am changing the colony!
Yep, the 13yr old grt nieces ran one of my rc steamers! They also rode
behind the 3/4" Britannia with their Mum as I have 2 riding cars
now--whoops! wrong scale!! Sorry, Mister Cole (smile)!
