Train juggling..pros or cons?

You might want to consider compressed air in a can as a safer alternative. It is available at stores like office depot and staples. I would still be curious about the video. Do we actually get to see the 700e hit your nose?

Nah, something tells me we should not encourage this guy to get too close to compressed air cans. Or maybe he already has been...

Jeff,

Good point.

Gads, Get Real.

It would be easier to tie a heavy string around the coupler, then swing them overhead like a lariat...  Yee-Ha!  Ride-em chooch-boy!

When I read it yesterday, I was certain you were kidding and was going to suggest running your trains through the dishwasher as an alternative. But, after typing it I figured sure as heck, someone would think I was serious and the flaming would begin. 😵

The issue on most forums is the one dimensional nature of the commutation. In the absence of emoticons, many can’t grasp the humor or sarcasm.  For that matter, even WITH the emoticons, many can’t grasp the sarcasm or humor...😏

When my dog was un-well the vet did something similar - tied a rope around a cat's tail and swung the poor thing around my dog.

The bill was $465.

$65 for the exam and $400 for the cat scan.

Bada-boom!

Actually, I find the easiest way to clean dusty, dirty trains is to carefully put them in the bed of my pick-up truck and then I go to the local car wash and run it through. The massive blow dryer is great at getting all the water out, but it costs me a small fortune to tip the guys to hand dry each engine. 

This must be an open mike post for train yokes,

Why go to all that trouble. I just throw my dirty engines in with a load of whites in the clothes washer. A word of warning, use cold water. Oh, and if you are going to put this load in the dryer, put it on "Fluff". 

If you do want to pursue the juggling thing, I'd suggest switching to BEEPS.

Jimmy Durante! Wow! I know none of today's' generation know that name, and if they did, the next question would be I" don't get what he meant by the nose. . . "

Ha Cha Cha!

Or with jokes like the ones in this thread, we may be better off with "Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."

Actually, redjimmy could decrease the artificial gravity in his C-57D and pretty much juggle anything he wants🙄  Not sure the dust would come off😄

Be careful because there is not a lot of room in that ship🤪

Zounds Cap Pilot!!!  So you're also a fan of Forbidden Planet! 

OP, inspite of all the expert advice from the repliers, I think your idea is the way to go!
