Traditionals & Trains

Say it ain't so, John, say it ain't so !
Hi... My name is John... And I'm a Knife-a-holic ;)
Yes, I carry moderns once in a while, but I always post them in the appropriate thread.
 
You could always familiarize yourself with the rules...

But to sum it up for you, no pocket clips or thumb studs allowed.
While I carry modern knives and like them a lot, I wouldn't want to offend any regulars by posting them here.
No big deal, deleted
Train too
 
I do have a six foot long section of antique railroad rail on my patio. (Doesn’t everybody?)

I'm surprised that nobody has posted any model train pics.... the best I've ever seen, for realism, was done by our own southriv southriv .... I had some pics of some of his artistry, but have somehow misplaced them.... perhaps he'll post a few for your pleasure....
 
My train went to my godson very long time ago ...
Memories left only
And watching other people's possesions ^)
 
Railroad tracks just behind Pearl here, running along the shore of Lake Minnetonka in Wayzata, MN. (The lake is all that frozen white stuff just behind the tracks.) 😉

Do train tickets count? 🙂 These were from my visit to Sheffield in 2018.

I thought I had knife pics with this next one, but I guess not. I’ll share it anyways, because I think it’s kind of interesting. In the mid-90s, Amtrak stopped providing passenger train service to Phoenix and Tempe, AZ and instead began servicing a single stop in Maricopa, AZ, a suburb about 30 miles south of downtown Phoenix. It’s a stop on Amtrak’s Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle routes.

The dome car shown below (“Silver Horizon” from the CB&Q’s California Zephyr line) was originally meant to serve as the station itself, but that didn’t work out and it was replaced with the modular building seen in the background of the first photo, and remained for display only.

We lived in Maricopa for about 5 years before moving to Minnesota in 2018. In 2019 they moved the dome car (not far, from the sound it) to make room for a road construction project.
