Thanks I would love to, but I found that one in the trash at the local park. Brought it home cleaned it up and its been sitting for about a year, till today when Mark decided to be a little late. So I thought I would make something for him to think about! LOL

I agree. It is getting late in the day here. Let's hold off on the release for today and make sure everything is tested properly. We don't want to rush the engineers or they'll get cranky .
Thanks for your patience guys!

He's alive, but apparently the release for today is not. We'll look for it tomorrow.

Another sleepless night but I am calm cool and collected and can wait till tomorrow for the announcement...Paul
Just remember Menards will be a day late but the other makers it may be upwards of years so im looking forward to tomorrow.
At least M is making sure this product is ready for train time!

They usually don't announce anything unless it's been produced already.
Not to put too fine a point on it but you have to realize a lot of guys on this forum are older so some of us can only hope for tomorrow! Add to that the stress of waiting for the release for a few days and you've inadvertently created a dangerous situation! LOL
Play Trains is right! I might go into Menardiac arrest! Lol!
come on you guys are not that old! LOL Dirt is older then most of you all! LOL
Actually Mike I went to school with God! I was voted class clown, God was voted most likely to succeed! Even then we knew! LOL

Ok guess that make you Paul and I's BIG BROTHER! LOL
I remember God used to get so excited at Christmas time! It was years before I understood why! LOL I am your older brother, probably have socks older than you guys!
Most of us are old so tomorrow is never a givin, lol.
Amen.
Well, I guess here are a lot of lights and sounds to test on that hard adobe Santa Fe passenger station!

Let's see here.
We know it's something to do with Santa Fe and it has electronic components.
That may be the end of my hints.

CABOOSE
Ok - my productivity at work is taking a HUGE dive the past 48 hours!
If it's the end of the hints, it must be a caboose. Unless they're going into passenger cars.
