You know you have too much track when

General Discussion
#1

This evening I was running a couple of trains when one went missing amongst the tunnels, plants and too tall weeds and I had to do a bit of searching to find it. I did find it but I got to thinking with all the jokers on this forum it could be a funny thread to start it off a Jeff Foxworthy type setup soooo.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TRACK WHEN…

you lose a train somewhere.

OR even better

a developing country calls you in case you have any surplus brass for sale…

How would you end this sentence??

#2

…your train comes back with snow on it.

#3

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TRACK WHEN…

the bank calls in your construction loan.

Who’s Jeff Foxworthy?

Hehe! You are obviously not a redneck. He's a comedian that appears on stage and on TV with the likes of Larry the Cable Guy. Four of these guys get on stage and complete the sentence..."You know you're a redneck when..."

When the train gets back, the track is too dirty for the train to continue!

#7

OK, so now who’s Larry The Cable Guy? :smiley:

Just kidding. I really don’t know, but it doesn’t matter…

This is a good thread so far, BTW :slight_smile:

You know you have too much track when … you buy your other neighbour’s backyard too.

You’re not very “international”. I know who Red Green is…! :smiley: :slight_smile:
Yeh I know…“who’s Red Green”. Dogone guys! :wink:

Hey gives me a new one…
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TRACK WHEN…
you spend so much time laying it you don’t have time to watch TV and learn who Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Red Green are.

They’re cultural icons that’s what!

you try to run 3 differt trains and you loose were one’s at :slight_smile:

Mr Le Forestier - Sir - I’m totally astounded. Red Green, also known as the Duke of Duct Tape, is the man who’s life closely follows that of my cousin Sam. We voted him Prime Minister and Governor General and Pope for many years.

How ANY Canadian alive today can admit ignorance of Red Green is totally beyond my comprehension. But then again, so are most things more complicated than a spoon.

…your track purchases influence the price of copper on the commodities market.

#15

^^^^^^
Hahahahhaaaaaa! That one is funny!

John you just need to cut the sleeves off every shirt you own and end every other sentence with “GIT ER DONE” and you have Larry the Cable Guy. He also has a show on TV about dicovering america and the whacky people and places in it.
My favorite so far is Mark V with “your train comes back with snow on it”

Heres a few more.
You know you have too much track when…

Both UPS and USPS refuses to deliver your last order due to the weight and you need to pick it up at a freight terminal.

Aristo Craft starts emailing you twice the amount of their usual Big Sale Ads

Migratory animals start using your main line for their annual route North!

Keep em coming you clever comedic NUTZ

Murphy’s First Law of Layout Planning; Your track plan will always exceed the amount of space for the layout by 10%.

Guess that still fits under you know you have too much track when . . .

Also, you know you have too much track when your layout is supposedly in an alternate universe, and THEY say you are crowding them out of existance.

Have fun,
