Maybe they are just trying to blow off a little steam!

I knew this would get side-tracked.............................

Now you're just beating a dead iron horse.
My doctor told me to go out and kill people.
Well, sort of.  He told me to reduce the stress in my life.

It's OK if someone is to derail the thread.

Stan will get it back on track.

There are rail road tracks that run right down HWY 80 maybe we could do it at salt talks should be interesting to see a train at speed, remember Ab Jenkins raced one from SLC and won.  :cheers:

You guys get steamed up over every little thing, it's too easy to de-rail your interests by side-tracking your locomotion!!   

You do realize you're running out of time to get the wishlist to Santa so that you're ready for racing next year, right?

Just wanted to make sure you were all on the right track!!

No train racing, or Lynda will put coal in our stockings!   :wink:

Freud, don't keep stoking the boiler, it's going to blow more steam than the engine can handle and everything will derail!   :-o

Freud will make it run backwards as the streamlining can be changed.

I hope the engineers working on this project have the right training.  They are going to under a lot of pressure.
