Nothing personal: But I would rather watch young kids with huge grins on there faces as appose to grumpy old men…

I represent that ““Grumpy old man”” part, but I won’ be there…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-sealed.gif)

Hmm on the Aristo site it says today you are just turning 65 … When did you become Grumpy?

Sean, ““Grumpy”” was my CB handle when I had CB’s in the vehicles, and it’s also the name on Cell phone…

OK then … Is Rooster even in your cell phone? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-yell.gif)

Gee, I don’t think we want to discuss what my CB handle was.

I would rather be happy then grumpy. It makes most people wonder what I have been up to, and it torques off the really grumpy people.

Never ever torque off Andy when he’s the yardmaster…

Why?

He ain’t no yardmaster …Mom does all the yard work at the Clarke plantation that’s why it looks so good!

#25

Bruce is that like rule number 1? In my family, on road trips, rule number 1 is; “Don’t piss off the driver.”

Do the layouts mentioned accommodate 1/20.3 engines and rolling stock? Specifically the Bmann Connie which is 6" on the cross-head and 8" to the top of the stack.

What is the minimum track radius?

Are green engines allowed?

What kind of pizza?

Will my New Mexico passport be honored by Massachusetts?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The SJR&P being run on the Sunday is a 1:20.3 layout with a mainline minimum radius of close to 2M. Yards have Aristo wide radius turnouts (10ft diameter) so you should have no problem operating.

Visiting locomotives are welcome. For the ops session we can accommodate DCC, RC or Live steam (with insulated wheels)

Coming from a guy that never operated on the Kaskaskia Valley Railway. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)He was definitely the yardmaster at Consolidated.

Many were the young men never to be heard from again - I think they were sent to Cat Dump. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cry.gif)

Check out that evil grin…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif)

Yes, and he means it! A cool layout to operate on. And if you don’t bring your own he only has a couple hundred or so to choose from. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

I bring my own - it’s a fabulous weekend for operations. First Bob’s, then Stan’s.

This is so much fun… Andy grinning ! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Problems with both knees? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

I hope all is well!

I’m just hoping that someday I get to see the REAL Sean…

Short memory Bruce! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

We meet @ the build Bobs railroad a while ago!

Oh, I remember THAT. But maybe you didn’t have those sunglasses?

#37

Just for the record, here’s Sean without the sunglasses…

True. But you really don’t want to be the one he is smiling at…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

It’s probably coincidence…all those missing people…
