THE V.I.P JOURNAL

LEGO RAIL LINE COMPLETED!

Largest rail line in V.I.P. history will run two dead rail trains simultaneously!

Two hours of re-arranging structures were needed in order to install a large rail line for V.I.P.'s three Lego trains. The remote-controlled trains will run two at a time, providing freight and passenger service to the lay-out's most inaccessible areas, as well as to advanced industrial sites.

DISNEY LEGO TRAIN ENTERS SERVICE!

Critics Ask: What Kind of Mickey Mouse Railroad is This?

With Mickey standing on the roof, a powerless 4-4-0 locomotive and its motorized tender roared around the V.I.P. tracks today. Construction of passenger cars is already in progress. 

There sure are a lot of critics in VIP Territory!  You would think they would wise up!  No, that is too much to ask

PASSENGER SERVICE RESUMES AT V.I.P.!

Two Rodents Now Operating Train! 

The Disney Railroad added a beautiful passenger car, hosted by Dale (the chipmunk brother with the pink nose), restoring  passenger service to the lay-out. One more passenger car is waiting to be assembled.

That makes for a real nice looking train!  All you need is a hamster and wheel and you will have your power source!!

Hmmm.... Another rodent...

DISNEY RAILROAD COMPLETED!

"Triple R" (Rodent Run Railroad) restores passenger service to V.I.P.!

Two beautiful passenger cars (one with a removable wall) will provide first-class service to  V.I.P. travelers who don't mind being on a train operated by rodents. The train is planned to be part of the 2019 "Disney Christmas" lay-out, but it is so popular that nobody wants to take it down.

Those Rodents Run a Respectable Rail Road! 

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON DISNEY RAILROAD STATION!

Goofus D. Dawg (aka G .G. Goofy Goof) Named as Station Master!

The entire floor, one corner section, and two doors have been installed on the new Disney Railroad Station. This amounts to 18% of the entire structure. So far, viewers are impressed with the beauty of the structure. The building also appears to be sturdy enough to survive both storage and Lego add-ons at future dates.

Is Station Master Goofy overseeing construction?  I’m not sure if it is good or bad if he is.  LOL 

Not only is Goofy overseeing the construction work, but he will be station master when it is completed. I finished the third bag of parts today.

Wow!  I didn’t know Goofy had it in him!  Looks great so far!

WORK CONTINUES ON DISNEY TRAIN STATION!

Extensive Work Reveals That the Inside Will be  BEAUTIFUL!

DISNEY RAILROAD REACHES 2/3 MARK!

First Floor Roof Successfully Installed!

Under the watchful eye of supervisor G.G.Goofy Goof, workmen installed the entire roof over the ground level of the Disney Train Station. A few minor additions were also made to the interior and to the outside walls.

And security has been improved with the arrival of former Rescue Ranger "Chip," who joins his brother Dale as a conductor..

I’m glad Chip is chipping in!  

Its looking great!

EXPLOSION ROCKS V.I.P.!

New Train Station Damaged by Blast, But Construction Continues!

An explosion blew out a small section of the second-story front wall, destroying a window and some decorations. Security forces quickly pinpointed the blame to Vince "Iron Horse" Massi, who they allege pressed too hard while snapping a section of Lego blocks into place. Damage was quickly repaired, and the place is actually looking pretty good.                                           Building manager G.G.Goofy Goof  told reporters, "Gawrsh!"

Gawrsh is exactly right

I am having a great time (vicariously) along with you. Keep at it and keep up the fun in model railroading.

OBSERVATION BALCONY COMPLETED!

Disney Train Station Only Hours From Completion!

DISNEY TRAIN STATION COMPLETED!

Architectural Marvel Astounds and Delights Visitors!

Internet photos of the Disney train station do not do justice to this impressively beautiful structure (I'll post photos tomorrow when I have better light). It will serve as a sharp-looking addition to V.I.P. until November 1, when it will become a major centerpiece of my Disney Christmas display.

And a drum roll please...

It's a cloudy day at V.I.P., but here are some photos:

Goofus D. Dawg has overseen the construction of a beautiful sation!!!  It does look great, and sure beats the LEGO parts that were available to us in the '60s!!!

NICE WORK!  ☺

PROTESTS BREAK OUT AT V.I.P.!

Officials Accuse V.I.P. of renewing Time-Travel Experiments!

After months of operating without incident, V.I.P. created an uproar when they hired Mr. Peabody, a known genius who is alleged to have invented a Wayback Machine. V.I.P. has been accused in the past (Get it?) of conducting time travel experiments with Superman and Captain America, along with the Archie Harrison Super Computer.

Mr. Peabody denied allegations, explaining that time machines are too difficult to operate. For one thing operators often forget when they parked it. And they don't make time machines like they will do. They once had a time machine and will start building it next year. But if anyone does have a time machine, please call us two weeks ago. I did see a time machine once, and I remember it as if it were tomorrow.

I can see the hiring of Mr. Peabody by the VIP ushers in a new era!  Will Sherman have a place in the organization?  Only time will tell.
