How about a campaign to ban all smileys? :(

"A good haggis"..."The very best ones". I rest my case. Perhaps it is time you retired from all comments regarding good taste?

Well...you ARE from Scotland! For all I know, the latests, hippests, coolest, trendiest haggis delivery system in the cities to the north could be one of those corny little trains. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- "google pingo doce" The translation comes back as "pingo doce". Is...

I have never found a drink bar, sushi bar, or any other kind of eating and/or drinking establishment in the world that had one of the model train delivery systems that didn't go over the top in "cheesyness".

"I will be dressing/packing for comfort, personal hygiene and light weight" Which will it be? Or will be be on alternate days?

That will look like nothing more than a sausage on the shirt. But at least the Germans will be pleased.

Any chance of lifting an image that doesn't look like it comes from a copyrighted site?

I do have a recording of Elgar's Pomp, etc. by the debut orchestra (with a few member replacements) in the original debut hall. Sounds great, but I bet a brass band in St. Panc's would be super as well! And the "By Jingo" can be found on YouTube where? Can you give us a copy of the graphic in...

I do a little counseling in my spare time. :)

Englsih Tan is what is described as the colour of the leather seats in my BRG SJX-V12. It won't show Gravlax and mustard stains as easily as a pure white T.

I agree to no harmonicas if you agree to no bag pipes. I think the only proper send-off and return welcome would be a full British military brass band with Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstances" blaring as the participants step onto the platform. BRG on an English Tan T. Scooter's valet will carry...

Who has been designated Minister of Harmonicas for the trip? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVJWKqVqUjA&feature=related

Latest version: Now THAT is an "Alien" image bursting from the heart of the T. Belching more smoke than the Simplot Express which showered me with soot on the Zuglo platform last year. Shows excellent dynamic speed and power. Perfect.

And don't forget "John Henry". The greatest railroad building hero of all time. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Great pictures in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSrEcPdA0hE&feature=related --- old post above --- --- new post below --- More Boxcar Willie...

It sounds as if they stole that story from the much older tale of Casey Jones (true story). Another hero who died in the cabin. Anyone who knocks the CoNO between now and the "Great American" 2015 gets to walk from Chicago to New Orleans. You Brits remember that place? Where you got such a warm...

Don't ever put the knock on the City of New Orleans, the song or the train. That song literally brings a tear to every American train freak's eye... literally. Here's a version by Johnny Cash as he actually rides the CoNO, a true piece of Americana in many ways...

Well you poor sods, being from America I actually got to ride a couple of those in my youth. In addition, I have ridden in a huge compartment similar to the "dream" one shown. It had the large bed and even a game table and en suite everything. I won't reveal the shameful way in which I got it...

Will there be a special long-sleeved, mock turtle neck, thermal insulated T for the Igloo Hotel?

Scooter has agreed to wear his highly coveted, sequined and spangled "Liberace" smoking jacket.

Speaking of dress, where is the Minister of Protocol? Scooter informs me he must give directions to his valet prior to Scooter's arrival at his personal baggage drop at the Georges V in Paris. While a good soak and scrub will be ready with the complete range of Floris Elite products, he must...
