An index of hobby terms would be nice.......

How would 'lash-up' be classified?

Thank you Killian.

LOL, one look at the title of this thread and I knew what term would get the most attention.....

Definitions for the majority of the "Lionel" terms are in the front of Lionel catalogs.

Michael,

I think you originally said you were insulted. I don't know what I said to make you feel that way but it was certainly not my intention.

Okay we know now what the term Lash Up means but what about Scrapple???

Here's a short list I've been working on:
1. @#$%& switches!-Turnouts that cause derailments
2. @#$%& E-unit!-Reverse units that don't sequence properly
3. @#$%& curves!-Curves that are too tight of a radius or that cause derailments
4. @#$%& couplers!-Couplers that either uncouple at will anywhere or ones that wont open or close properly
5. @#$%& engine!-Any locomotive that doesn't operate as well as you think it should
6. @#$%& (insert manufacturer of your choice)!-Go to reason for any of the above
Also known as @#$%& Chinese!
7. @#$%& Ebay!-Online auction site where everything is either too expensive or junk or (be they a buyer or seller) a rip off
8. @#$%& (insert mail order company of your choice)!-Similar but not an auction
9. @#$%& (insert LHS of your choice)!-Ditto
10. @#$%& third rail!-What scale guys say about us
11. @#$%& rivet counters!-What we say about them

I'd like to nominate Jerry's post for Post of the Week.

Thanks Eric. I am looking at purchasing a new engine and I find the myriad of terms confusing. Vision Line, Odyessy, TMCC, DCS, and etc. I have somewhat limited funds and I am just trying to buy what best suits my railroad.

As an added question, has anybody actually seen a Proto 3 for sale yet....
