Hobo Jungle

As pastor of the "Breakfast Club of the Church of the Damned" I can only say that picture looks like the source of our holy sacrament. Now where did I put that jug of squezz'ns?.....er, I mean't holy sacrament.

Yes sirrrrrrrr,,,,,I'll bet them ole'boy's have had the recipe for a loooooong time,,,,,until the revenuers came!
"I'd like to have a taste"

[San Diegan]

Well, now, pencentral885, Jon's pappy just slaughters a hog when those revenuers are about to make an appearance, and they usually just mind their own business rather than intrude.

I guess one could have a (not so flattering) opinion of those back woods folks,,,But you gotta admit,,,,They are pretty cleaver!,,,,And resourseful too!,,,,'couse you know that pig will get smoked and eaten after it's all said and done!

[2railjon]

Nuthin' better then a good 'ol pig pickin'!!

[sjcbulldog]

Unless it is a crawfish boil.

[penncentral8885]

highrailjon; Don't know where you got that picture but it is interesting that there are no seats to sit on,,Wounder what the deal was on that?

[2railjon]

Judging from the picture I would say:
a: They don't know what a chair is.

b: Sitting in a chair, eating in the middle of the forest, could invite critters to some really sensitive areas of you body.

c: They burned the chairs to cook the pig.

NOW THAT was funny

I say,,,C,,,,,'Couse there in there Sunday go to meet'n cloths,,,,,Nobody cuttin' wood in there good cloths!
I doubt critters ever stopped any of them from havin' a good feed!

I'm VERY tempted to bid on this engine, but common sense is holding me back with this guys comment:

I AM NOT A train COLLECTOR & know little about the trains I list.EVERYTHING I SELL ON eBAY is sold (AS IS,NO RETURN.)

I think that's a hell of alot of money for an item that may be damaged or not even running. What do think?

[San Diegan]

Jon,

Heck of a risk. You could have two more Bachman Shays for that money from a mail order house with a return policy.

2 days left of a 5 day auction. Hummm. Stay away.

There are a whole lot of possibilities as to why he would want to do business that way, and most of them involve hosing the customer. If he really is auctioning off the inventory from a little old man who only drove his trains to church on Sunday, then there is likely to be much more inventory in the pipeline and he needs to hook up with a local train guy to evaluate the goods. Pay that guy a small fee to test each train and determine its state. Otherwise, he is using ignorance as a way to get top dollar on each item, at the buyers expense, regardless of the state of the item.

My advice, "walk, no run as quickly as you can away from this auction".

Jon, the price is too high. Those engines didn't sell well.

[2railjon]

Thanks for the input guys. It is one sweet engine though!!! Those drivers are killer.
Tramp, I'll call Gary tomorrow, but I thought those engines sold out in about a month.
