Jon, No one bats a thousand.

Where's Daisy? Maybe she has a thong?

Yikes. 4:01 AM, 4:01 AM. Ask and you shall be Daisy'd. Daisied? Daisyed?

Yup, multi. What's up with you guys?

Tramp, I knew that you were skeptical of Lionel products(who could blame you with the 6464 boxcar toy stuff out there!) but they have really made some great progress and I took advantage of the season to hook you! Forgive me!! For Dazziee, I see it's a no pantie Friday, so belly up to the bar, boys , first round is on her!!!

Jon, I must admit, I'm stunned how nice this reefer is. And the box! You got to admit, Lionel has the best boxes. Those colors: the creamy ivory, deep blue, and the perfect orange. Thanks, again.

Tramp, Although I'm a big fan of Atlas Steam Era cars there's nothing like the feeling of opening that blue and orange box on Christmas day. It was what young boys dreams were made of. I was from a very poor family (short on money, but never love) so Lionel never made it, until I hit my 40's. But it's really not much fun unless you share the magic, the same as your writing and artwork. This is why this forum works so well. We understand that giving is from the heart and so much more than that wall of trains will ever be. (Can't wait for Jim to open his Grand Daughters gift!!!

Daizzzie, you're hot!!! Moe, Larry, Moe, Larry!!

Jon, we're together on that one. I never saw a Lionel box until my 40s either. My dad usually gave me an oil filter for his car. "Oh, gee, thanks, dad." The worst was my grandfather sent me a train set and my dad talked me into selling it to a friend of his. I still think about that. But enough, boo, hoo. I got my box today!

Hey, I'm a bum. Can I bum a shot? I'll chase 'er with my beer.
Get a few extras. Help yerselves.

That reefer is a goddamn beaut. Tramp's got just the place to run 'er.

Tramp, your print has been dropped off at the frame shop today. Very Nice!

How do you imagine such things?

Tramp · Postby **Tramp** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 8:16 pm

Just wait!

Hey, you might want to put the mat behind the print, allowing the full width of paper. It will save money and maintain the visual balance of the print, retaining all the white border.

God I dig it when you talk like that.

2railjon · Postby **2railjon** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 9:30 pm

Tramp, The print is going to be dry mounted with the white border being maintained!! Trust me, Brother!

Ouch, dry mounting sounds painful!!! :lol:

Good man. I shouldn't have meddled.

The view across the river is the White Mountains where I was born.

Tramp, Would that put your birthplace south of St. Johnsbury, Vt.? Bradford? Not being nosey, just wondered if I've walked the same earth.
