Father's Day Wishes?

For Fathers Day my wife purchased dome car tickets for the Erie Limited behind ex Nickel Plate Berkshire 765

My daughter is taking her brother and I on the "Steam Into History" train here in New Freedom, PA. It'll be our second Father's Day trip on it. Lots of fun ahead!

I took that trip a couple years ago when after I attended the York meet. I would recommend anyone that attends the York meet to take the short side trip to New Freedom

My actual gift will be spending time with my wife and family.  Maybe a stool for the workbench, I've got a lot of other locomotives to build!

I just want to be able to sleep in without interruption. However with 2 dogs, wife and a 3 & 6 year old it's prob not gonna happen

Bob,

My children asked me what I would like this year. I could not hold back the truth. My reply was,"I would like more days together like we had during all of your childhoods".

I was raised a simple man. I raised each of my children accordingly. All I seek is the peace and love once again.

May Our God Bless Each And Every Father. 

 

 

Hear, Hear!!!!

If I ever had any wishes for Father's Day, it was that I could have been one as we couldn't have children.

Never take it for granted if you could, because there are lots of people who can't.

Just sayin'...

First wish: to spend some quality time with my wife and son, hopefully on the golf course!

Second wish: that the news about Weaver closing their doors is not really true.  Man I'm going to miss those guys!!

Time with my granddaughter...

Since 2001, my kids have given me a overnighter in Strasburg with as many Grandkids that could come. We do the RR, PRR Museum, TCA Museum, Choo Choo Barn, Ice Cream Shop, and either Dutch Wonderland or the Corn Maze.

They pay for the motel, and I go broke paying for the rest.

Joe, this is GREAT!  What else would you do with your expendable cash?  This is a wonderful way to celebrate (Grand)Father's day!  Have fun, and enjoy those youngsters!

Good Day,

 

My Fathers Day Wish, I wish for a happy and healthy family.

Our local train museum is having Adlake make some lanterns for the museum. I am lucky enough to be getting one for Father's Day.

Just for fun a picture of the reason I am a Father!

I will be in California with my family celebrating Fathers day in Disney Land riding on the Steam Train.

 

My children are my greatest blessing so my ongoing wish is meaningful time with them and their well-being. 

My wife told me Monday that she was going to reimburse me, as a Fathers Day gift, for a structure that I had already ordered from River Leaf Models[Andre Garcia].

 

She saw a photo of the Coal Dump Bin and Weighing Office that Andre recently designed, one that reminded her of a pre-WWII structure in her hometown. The owner sold coal by the bag, by 1/2 ton and ton. [the guy also owned a nearby Blacksmith Shop]. 

His coal was delivered to the elevated dump/bins by an A &Y Ry 2-8-0, usually in a N&W or Southern 2 bay hopper.

 

Another day with my Dad.  Long gone...

My Wish came true.  My Son in law will be honored this year on Father’s Day.

Is there such a thing as Grandfather’s Day? If there is…count me in!

She’s 3 days old and already owns the Lionel Polar Express….with remote.

I wish I could see my Dad one more time!  AT YORK!!!

GRANDPARENT'S DAY 09/13/15

My parents live on the opposite corner of the continent, so I haven't seen them for a Father's/Mother's Day since I left the area in 1998.

They're both turning 80 next week, so I know I won't have very many of these days left.

there'll be a time when I'll give the same response to the question as you gave. It's clear to me at this point.

A good pal of mine (who lives in the same town my folks do) lost his Dad quickly after he bumped his head on a dresser, he was in his 80s at the time. That was a few years ago and I heard his voice crack just a bit when he mentioned his Father the last time I saw him in person.

That'll be most of us someday, if not already. Don't ever forget that.

Amen and amen, Rich.  So would I.

 

My love angel of 47 plus years has us tickets for the 21st Century Steam- Bristol to Radford train ride.

 

Southern Railway engine # 4501 built in  1911 and recently restored to service by TVRM in Chattanooga.

And my new silver Go Pro (still in the box) I will ...Lord willing post my first video of the ride if I figure how how to work the darn thing.

Happy Fathers Day All!
