Hmm, an instance wherein the means justify the ends? |

How are your ends doing, Doug? |

Perhaps as an adjunct to a train show |

1500 when I stopped keeping track. |

That's a GREAT idea, Doug!! |

Hold up a few laundromats and we'll be all set. |

Jim if you have your nickel sale, let us know....I'll grab Thom and Ellen on the way and we can pick up Mike at the airport. |

And it was essentially very close to the design idea I'm after, but in Z |

Running trains are always a good influence... |

I think if I ever get a decent layout built, he might have more interest in it. He was blown away by the BNSF layout we toured. |

Same, although my son joined me on some of my convention activities, and I did see at least a tinge of interest developing as the week went on. |

Even if they were the numbers you have would be overwhelming. |

None of my family is interested in trains.:( |
6-7 17:37:24 |
DAZed
|
Jim, just meant....some people have family and want to pass things down, or to an estate to sell off to send proceeds to a charity, or--as mentioned--donate to a museum, etc. |

The aspect of having a (passenger) train as the vehicle in movies is that you can't easily evade/avoid people, and you can't get off to escape just anywhere - a confined, but in motion space. (North By Northwest, Sliver Streak). |

Doug, What did you mean, you didn't know my situation? |
6-7 17:34:49 |

Not my kind of movie... |

That's a fun movie to watch, Doug. |
6-7 17:32:03 |
DAZed

I don't watch a lot of movies, but I was flipping through the other day and a title caught my attention... "Strangers on a Train". An old Hitchcock movie, so I decided to watch. It was pretty entertaining. Not a lot to do with Trains, but still enjoyable. |

Thanks for the tip, Doug. |

Mike, that is a great movie you should check it out |

Our bunch is getting together soon, but I always need transportation |
6-7 17:25:41 |

Having never seen the movie from which I am borrowing the title, I'm imagining "A Night in the Z Scale Museum". |
6-7 17:25:35 |
rvn2001
|
That sounds like an excellent idea, Jim. You're going to be awfully busy, though. |
6-7 17:24:12 |

Perhaps I should have an open house and sell things for a nickel each I gave him some of my Nelson Grey stuff |
6-7 17:23:16 |

It might even be set up in the new place. |
6-7 17:22:59 |

oh, ok. |
6-7 17:22:40 |

Rob Kluz has it. |
6-7 17:22:21 |

there is a Z scale museum? |
6-7 17:21:54 |
DAZed
|
and it seems like you know him |
6-7 17:21:45 |
rvn2001
|
I thought you planned to donate it to the Z scale museum, Jim. |
6-7 17:21:34 |
DAZed
|
Jim, (a) I don't know your exact situation and (b) it's none of my business, but given your proximity to Rob, that seems like a good option. |
6-7 17:19:17 |

I understand that Jim |

Congrats Thom. I'm barely out of bed.....and not awake yet.....so no trains going. I'm barely going |

they almost had me with the JBH containers. And they eventually might but I need to find out what color they really are first. |
6-7 17:17:50 |

I have the usual 4 Z scale trains and 1 T scale train running. |
6-7 17:16:10 |

...and you were right... |

I suspected there would be a low (or no) turnout among us chat regulars, but I thought I'd ask. |

Nope. Maybe for round two. |
