I am doing a "Feeney Weeney " here! I Love Trains and we need train tracks this Christmas. I am offering The Pea's Place for a spot where we can build our Platform.
After all my brothers abandoned "D" St. I retrieved, along with other forgotten items, the box of trains. That was 1971. The box sat for about 10 more years.
A fireman/bricklayer friend from Kuhar days, Vinnie, did a brick job for me. I knew he was in to trains. I showed him the box and the battery had leaked and rusted, corroded a big part of the trains. He asked what I was gonna do with them. Having 4 daughters at the time who were not at all interested in trains, I asked if he wanted them. He said it would be a restoration project for him. His basement was filled with train tracks. He took them and knocked off some bucks from the job he did for me.
Pea...one of the most enjoyable blogs of all time! Me and my wife couldn't stop watching and laughing..I thought it was going to go thru his home...did I mention my wife was a "Jolly Trolley?" Fantastic blog!
Hey, Casey Jones! I appreciate the compliment but the Post was Posted by Blaze...but I still want a Platform for Christmas! Invite everybody to watch the trains go round&round while we all have Breakfast in the Caboos!
Dear Brother Blaze. You need a life. Watching that video I kept waiting for sumpin' to happen. Nuffin! I 'd hate to see what your boring videos look like.
Sing along now kids, " The train on the track goes round and round round and round round and round round and round round and round round and round........
My apologies to Blaze..I got so wraped up in imagining "drivin' that train" that I forgot who posted it..Great post Blaze! I assumed Pea was on the road again.
How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...

Closure is a good thing. Thank you TJ. Now really, how much did you get for the trains?
