I don’t have any LGB boxes. What shall I do?

…buy some…and enjoy the feel of crushing a box, before breakfast, on a rainy day in May…!!

LGB box withdrawal? Nothing tougher!

Don’t think that had a thing to do with it…Jon Radder has pics of the new LGB passenger cars. :wink:

That might fit my 15-foot radius curves! Maybe!

Shawn; my wayward son,

Are you in some way suggesting that we should “Pachage” David in a red box, and try to peddle him to some bunch of RED BOX fanatics…!!..??

Oh , the humanity !!
I only just got round to reading this thread , and had to take some tranquilizers . I am an avowed avid collector of Red Boxed Railway objects , and the sight of that gorgeous red box being criminally flattened by some oik from America (one of our old colonies) gave me a funny turn . How could anyone stoop so low ? And no doubt it was done with the intention of upsetting people like me , who never run the things but worship them at the shrine built from the Red Boxes . I suppose it’s too late to recover it ? I can do a good job of straightening boxes .
Anyway , after taking the tranxene , I settled down slightly , but still needed solace , which I took in the form of a tot of whisky . Thish did me sum goood , so I had a notherone , which hepled a bit , and I stopped crying . I tink I drank it two quick , but I still felt outraged enouhg to kick the cat as it pashed by , I swear the li’l bastard was sniggering . The bloody dog’d better keep awat , I cab tel l you … So , I got to thikning , what canbe done to retreive , no , retrieve the shituation ?? Have another tot or three , for shtarters . I’m shat here , srounded by my trains and they are not making mehapp y . Is it much fun jumping on the boxshes ? How high dyou hafta jump from to flatttten them? Cos it hash to be dun jus right , like of the qualitity of the trains in them . Thassha poin’ , do you hafta take the train out first? It wuold fla tten easier emty , mm . Tell you wot , I wil go an tryit . One with loco in , and won not (the chinaman , hahahaha) . A drop or two of wisky and here we go .

ps I have to tell you that I found Dad on the floor with LGB boxes all round him , his nose bleeding , and a broken ankle . He was muttering something about wringing a roosters bleedin’ neck as they took him to the ambulance .

Martyn , son of LGB man .

Martyn,
tell Pops about the post he missed a year ago.
I burned several “Red Boxes” in a sacrifice.
(Less contents, of course.)

And I have a special event planned as soon as it dries out and warms up a bit.
Stay tuned…

We’ll have to have Fr. Fred grade the above… It should be interesting. :lol: :stuck_out_tongue:

I have a big track box you can have. All the rest of the LGB boxes have trains in them.

It only counts if you smash LGB train boxes.

No bonfires?

Well since I was dragged into politics the box smashing was a Wiki leak and not factual only a photoshopped illusion!
“Read my lips” I play with my trains so the box matters not.
:wink:
