Title: POSTOPIA

Here, this is for anything as long as it abides by Mr. B's rules ok?  This is to help stop short life threads (not that they are useless).

I am President of a model train club for kids ages 8-18.
At the Springfield Show, most likely the largest show in the eastern half of the US, we had a couple times a day a Thomas Race, where Cameron and Timmy raced Thomas and James around and around to see who would win at the end. There would usually be some obstacles such as a truck stuck on the crossing, or sabotage between modules, sending either of them into a house or pool... It was pretty fun watching, and we got a lot of interested names on the sign up sheet. There was a fair crowd of younger kids watching and cheering.

heh heh heh.  Well, I discovered that my local hobbyshop was trying their best to get rid of a HO Marklin Set.  It was a over-priced $500, but it was marked down to $200.  It was eventually sold off or gotten rid of.  Thats what you get when you sell a few of one specific train (with Marklin being 3 rail)
