I will ask permission to rub Ed Boyle's head for luck at York. It works.
I will urge Angela Trotta Thomas to feature our Forum mascot, Ralph, in one of her paintings. In October I happened to visit her when Mrs. Marty was there, and we showed her a photo of Ralph.
I will thank Mike Wolf for all his great Reading models and encourage him to make more.
I will urge Lionel to offer a model of Baldwin 3-cylinder compound 4-10-2 No. 60000 in The Train Factory (formerly Railroad Hall) in The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. The full-scale crackle black paint scheme with faded yellow lettering (THE BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS) would look great!
I will modify Spellcheck to watch for "L****P."
I will delight in great clouds of JT's MEGASTEAM
I will regard OGR as devotional reading.
I will be grateful to Reading Steam Guru, Wowak, and J.D.S. LIMITED PRODUCTIONS for, respectively, painting and detailing my Lionel Reading T-1 as 2124; installing working valve gear and scale details; and adding a fan-driven smoke unit and (while he was in there) an LED headlight.
I will be amused as the occasional topic causes fussin' and fightin'
I will wish Rich & Co. good luck with the 765, OGR, and other worthy endeavors.
