I enjoy the international perspective of the recent posts here. including the reference to Epsom salt - discovered in England in 1618 in the town of that name. Alfred

This is a little late but is the video referenced in my last posts. My reason/excuse for posting it here apart from some slight amusement value is that it contains side views of the locos used at this themed restaurant in Prague:
All of the trains appeared to me to be die cast metal and obviously have been in daily use for years. They all have Czech names and we didn't see more than a small minority of them. There's a very brief cameo appearance by our equivalent of Santa's Little Helper, a toy buffalo named Claude Montana who came from Missoula, Montana, who turned 21 on the day I filmed this. He is a 3rail O scale fanatic.

Having completed my extraordinary Burger/Beer Train expedition (see preceding post) I have come back inspired to the point of completing my main passenger car display with the three most interesting models I have:
The perspective gives the wrong impression as all of these are the same length (20 plus inches) although two are Euro O scale at 1/43.5. I think that this is probably the limit of what I will source of cars of that kind because of space and other limitations but they are placed where I can see and be distracted by them whenever I am at the dining table desk/workbench.

These trains are actually made of cardboard and paper. I normally keep them in my display case, but I posted them here for this shot.

That sort of thing from the prewar and early postwar period just fascinate me...thanks for sharing. Seeing examples of stuff folks built with just the basics of components is pretty terrific.

Brevity, especially when transmitting instructions over the train wire, is something all station agents appreciate, especially when orders are coming thick and fast. Of course, the art of never using two words when one will do can, on occasion, turn crisp brevity into critical omission with consequences one can imagine. The engineer of old Victoria - the Ophir and Oblivion's well cared for teakettle - made a stop at Erehwon where he was ordered to pick up #63188, a single freight car, at Plumnelly, attach it to the end of his passenger train and bring it on into Oblivion. He knew he had a light consist so he was certain adding on one more car, be it freight or passenger, wouldn't be a problem. So here we are - just outside of Plumnelly, the freight car has been set out on the passing siding and, while it is true #63188 IS a single freight car, it happens to be a fully loaded 5 unit articulated Gunderson stack car. As you can see the boys are discussing the situation right now trying to figure out what they will do. They're a creative bunch so I'm sure they will think of something.

Dedication of the new Lewis Park Station was held today, and it was a PR disaster. These two showed up, but nary another soul: Heads are gonna roll at the home office.

Not a big PC fan but I got to admit I like this. Also noticed the spacing is real close for the car behind it. NICE!
