:lol:
A married Irishman went into the confessional and said
to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"

The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed
together, but then I stopped."

The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as
putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For
your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the
poor box."

The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers,
and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a
moment and then started to leave.

The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him
saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the
poor box!"

The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on
the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it
in."

Here's an o scale brass beauty. It's a 4-6-4 Baltic. I'm not familiar with Baltics, but its look is very appealing. :D Especially the bolstered front trucks.

I have to agree, that is a beauty. :)

MTH has produced this in there oversized RailKing line. As I love these type engines and being a Cleveland based RR, it was a must have.

The only difference between Men & Boy Toy Trains is the price and size of the Toy Trains.

Man!! Whew!! Sorry I drank every beer at the party last night. At least when I got up at 0530 this morning to head to Drill Weekend, I felt like I did!! :lol: :lol:
But I have been building up a powerful thirst once more.

Hey, I had to travel south this weekend. Did anyone get to York, and was there any worth reporting on?

Tramp eases through the door of the pool hall. Besides the clothes on his back, he has exactly two bucks and his lucky cue. The crowd looks tough for the hustler............

Jon - Don't have the historical stuff at my finger tips, but I am pretty sure those Baltics were rebuilt by MILW talented engine men from Pacifics for high-speed service during the 1930s. Pretty interesting that someone is doing it in brass. I like that front truck design as well.

We got rained out at Bristol NHRA today, but I'm catching the tail-end of the Busch race from Talladega on the radio. Anybody up for a brew?...

That Busch race has superceded "Cops" on Fox, dang it.

A beer would help ease my pain, however.
