"then listen to and implement every suggestion on this Forum"
a sure path to madness.

The title of this thread was supposed to be a set up for a funny video centered around a model train hobbyist who won the lottery. The thread took on an unintended life of its own. Sometimes threads on the OGR forum do that.

Then he surely won't mind.
Me,
Buy a building the size of a Costco warehouse and find out who would want to form an O Scale model railroad club.
Give the reminder to my wife and tell not to bother me about spending on stuff anymore.

I am going to quit working thats for sure.
This is such a funny conversation. Every once a while when the lotto is up to mega mega bucks I will buy a ticket. Then, my wife and I will talk about all the things we will do at dinner if we win. Of course after the drawing and we don't win we go back to the real world. But it's fun letting your mind wonder off into ever ever land every once and a while.
I would do whatever I could to help get LIRR # 39 up and running.

Matt, we have similar goals. With the lottery winnings I would complete development of my Puh36 Explosive Space Modulator and destroy planet Earth. I'd be willing to grant you a position as my #1. 
I'd also be taking applications to spare 10 people. Submissions will begin upon my receipt of the winnings. mmmphh ha ha ha. Muuuhahahahaha! 
Wow Brian, I thought Matt was building a "Time Machine".

Careful, I've heard there's been some quality control issues with those...

No, I'm building the time machine. Not sure who's working on the hyper-drive tho.

i'd buy you a k-car (yeah, a nice reliant automobile!)
and maybe a fur coat... but not a real fur coat, that's cruel

Build a replica of a J-3 Super Hudson.
I'd buy a Congressman or woman. Then I could have whatever I wish.

Aren't all web forums sustained by participants' delusional fantasies of relevance and inflated senses of self-esteem, characteristics of megalomania?What, me worry?

You could pay a bit extra for the ones that don't get lost in the laundry.

Particle beam weapons, time machines, hyper-drives, Puh36 Explosive Space Modulators and you want socks that don't disappear in the laundry, who's being unrealistic now?

First & foremost, I would buy annuities for my grandchildren to make college educations affordable for them.

Hey! I had a Reliant...
0-60 in a year-and-a-half with an air conditioner that could create snow on a humid day.

I am with Matt. My 1st job was running park trains. After I made sure several family members were taken care of along with my church I would find some land and install a 24" gauge railroad. I would build a nice but not huge O-Gauge layout as well. I would set most of the money up so I could live without touching the principle. I would throw out every alarm clock in the house. I would spend my time volunteering at church and several local charities. Maybe using my outdoor railroad as a learning tool.

Since I've grown up with and worked on CP Huntington Replicas, I'd order a new one from the factory (1 loco is approx. $200K). www.chancerides.com
