Storm in a teacup.  Sheesh, get a life.  All this fuss over a nothing word.

I hear worse on school buses.

If you can't have a storm in a teacup, then what use is the tea?   ;)

the moderator could kick you off for a "nothing" word

im still waiting and waiting for the the FL9

Amen to that!

A decent painted, unlettered, unnumbered 2-6-2 would also be nice.

And I can't believe Life-Like/Walthers is still sitting on redoing the DL-109 in unnumbered New Haven buff/green scheme with an interchangable early/late roof.

NH had over 60 of the things, but when they do a rerelease they keep doing the early rood only for roads that only had 2 to 4 of the things. Frustrating.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

yo len
your right about life like not redoing the DL-109
both runs were sellouts  including new haven

can do on the FL9
i can think of about a dozen color schemes

   I'll be glad to watch my language in the future, but FYI current writing style guides define the term in question as simple slang rather than profanity.  You might consider that in the future, particularly if the ending 'g' is left off leaving a well known and regularly used California term that even appears on billboards.

     Believe it or not, Marx made a pretty decent FL9 for their train sets back in 1960 with the B truck and C truck accurately molded including the pickup shoe on the rear truck.  NH only as I recall, but a reasonable engine all around considering the time it was done.  I never see that one mentioned when you see lists of companies that have done the FL9.  I keep planning on digging out mine and remotering it.  I still have my first train set, track with molded ballast (another Marx first) and all just to run at Christmas time and such.

pdlethbridge -


   As I said, I accept your personal definition of "profane" here and will abide by it.  However, lest you become shocked elsewhere when your personal definitions are not the acid test, I repeat, ".. define the term in question as simple slang rather than profanity".

   You could, perhaps, read at least as much as you post rather than quoting the rule book which may or may not apply where you are not the prevailing authority.  Beware the other G rated places, as I said.

  have a really nice, profanity free, day

      And people are still female dogging (an ancient Algerian term for complaining) about not having any of the NYC L2 series or the H10b,  both of which Bachmann has the basis for with models they've already run.

The H-4 is not a C&O "version."  It is a C&O locomotive  I think that the USRA 2-6-6-2 MAY be a variant of it.  (Which could explain why the C&O did not like the ones they received!)

The word in question passed though the Bachmann censor filters and is indeed acceptable in the spell check dictionary.

Take you morality and keep it to yourself and don't try to force it on anyone else.

People, just give it up, aren't we all on to discuss model Railroading?
