Wow!! CT you’re the best. I found a shiny 1937 Buick Special 5 passenger convertible Phaeton painted in a beautiful Sandringham maroon parked in front of my passenger station last night. I brought it back in the house for photos. It’s a beautiful car. Thank you for not listening to crotchety Bill Webb. It’s our secret; so please, no one tell Bill! (Gary this means you). Thank you again for your thoughtfulness in finding me this beautiful car. I owe you big time. PS. The candy and flowers were a special touch. Where did you ever find candy canes and a poinsettia in June?    |

So pleased that you like this special model. It is rare and one of the best of the Brooklin models. It will look special on your wonderful layout.

Paula, that is a fabulous car and a wonderful gift. Underneath it all CT is a good guy.
Don't worry, I won't tell Bill. Mum's the word.

I thought that I smelled a rat when Paula was whispering before. So I got prepared for this day. Specially fitted out. C T you better be careful. Thanks to PTC, it will be quite a procession. Maybe we can borrow one of his red pickup trucks for a flower car.    Brian thanks so much for the help. The car is absolutely beautiful. When we saw the hearse, we had to have it for our R W Baker Funeral Home diorama. Robert Baker is a long time friend, likes trains, and we rode together to our first York. He is also an incredible leader in Troop 1, BSA which just celebrated its 175th Eagle Scout. Attachments:

"THE VAPORS" There's one I have not heard in a while - like since the Civil War and Charles Dickens. Personally I commend CT Barnum for his taste, charm, enterprise and, uh, motive.

Gary, glad that your detective work is paying off.
Vapors... now that really is a southern term. But you are from southern Canada

"Man That C.T. Sure has some adventures."Yes he does, Rick. Got to have a "comic or funny page" to liven things up a bit. The OGF is it in terms of our members being able to post anything like the adventures of CT. The last thing we want is plain vanilla. There is enough of that already elsewhere. Stay tuned for the adventures of CT as we get closer to the Christmas season. Bill and Gary are going to love it. I do have a new ally for CT with Paula.
