Model Train Journal

It's good to know Tramp, Petey and San are still walking aroundwith their forked end down. Anyone hear from Willie or Stiff? Last I heard from Stiff he was recouperating from a heart attack in Denver. That was Christmas '05. I haven't heard a peep out of Willie for a long time. One of these days I'm...

:) Well, I ride on a mailtrain, babe Can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night Leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it You know my baby will. Don't the moon look good, mama Shinin' through the trees ? Don't the brakeman look good, mama Ragging down t...

Daisy! Rocky! Belly up to the bar and have a tall glass of this Idaho Gold[TM]. Tramp spilled his and Willy doesn't need any more. Jon is just grinning and humming that tune from Casa Blanca. San's been passed out cold for most of the day. I think he's been drinking more than just Idaho Gold[TM]. It...

San, is that really you?

Somehow you look even more distinguished. You look younger too. I guess thats what not bathing and living in a box car can do for your complection.

the drinks are on me!

:D Wayne, What a coincidence, the same thing happened to me at the Teton Mall in Idaho Falls! Where you screwed up is not restocking the wallet. when they only can lift 45 cents they start looking for more elegant gentlemen. I always had at least two bucks in my wallet every day for the first twenty...

Damn I miss that hobo life! Del, Tramp, Petey, San, Rocky... hell, all of you. I am giving up this domestic bliss and hopping a freight and returning to the freedom of nothing left to lose. I just happen to have a fresh batch of Idaho Gold[TM] and a sack of the finest potatoes Idaho has to offer. He...

Just checking in to see how my old friends are making it.

I happen to have a wagonload (Radio Flyer) of Idaho Gold for you hobos. Everything is cool in Idaho! (If you don't mind living in a religious oligarchy.)

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

:) Petey old pal, I miss hanging out with you hobos. I got an e-mail from Stiff around the holidays. He was still in serious pain over the election results but said he was working steady in Las Vegas. That is an odd place for a worn out hobo. Jackie, you sure have a nice tan for this time of the yea...

:) Howdy folks! Just because I do not post often does not mean that I forgot all my pals on the train forum. I am doing fine in Arctic Idaho. I am settling into married life and I can't really say I miss being single. I am probably just too anal for all those loose ends. I wish you all the best! Tra...

Just dropped by to give my regards to all my friends! I am having a great summer. I am stll married and liking it very much! I have a new recipe for another cool drink: Idaho Silver - It is made from a 50 - 50 mix of Ever-Clear and Idaho Gold with a drop of tap water for balance. It is smoooooth and...

Happy Easter everyone! :) Because I consider you 'bos my friends, I want to announce that I got married on March 27th in Las Vegas, Nevada to a wonderful woman named Lorrie. We have been dating for about two years and have finally taken the plunge. Things have been a bit hectic around here but I am ...

I just arrived in the new digs with a gallon jug of extra virgin Idaho Gold [TM] with an enviro-friendly imitation shamrock hue.

So step up 'bos and I'll fill your tin cups on this sacred day of Irish pride.
