Trainworld/Trainland Issue

It is hardly an "Issue" then. Your thread subject line led me to believe something else when I opened it. Glad things worked out.

The "issue" was the credit card timed out since the initial ordering.  We're all set now.

One suggestion (and I am not saying this snarkily), when you want to indicate it is being in jest, put quotes around it. So for example, if the intent is to say you were shocked at how nice the CSR at Trainworld was, Title might be Trainworld/Trainland "Issue"

I can't wait to see some pix of your K4!

  as long as ya, got da numbah hon?

She was a lovely person to interact with.

That’s kind of funny with my being from Brooklyn and being used to the foulest mouths around. I was in Trainland in Brooklyn a few years ago during one of my visits back to the city .  I wanted to go in person to pickup a NYC MTH subway set. While there I would listen to the owner have several phone conversations. I had to laugh to myself as it reminded me of my youthful days and the language on the streets. Every fourth word started with an F.  
However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that New Yorkers don’t know how to be polite.  While growing up there you learn to automatically switch your language around depending on your environment and company. It becomes natural enough , and you don’t even have to try to do it.

Sister would not be amused.

Not to worry Alan....in da Bronx it's every 3rd word...

Yes, please do post pics/videos of the LC+2 K4. I just re-committed to my old one adding Cruise-M to it, so not in the market, just interested.

Funny thread. Probably a bit bit of a stereotype, but there is something to the faster pace of the Eastern seaboard that makes them seem, at times (and not all) rude to us in the Midwest. Even a recent episode of Two and a Half Men played on that....one of Charlie's ex's said she was being nice because she's from the Midwest. I run into this at work with some frequency. Sales reps from New England or Mid-Atlantic software and tech companies don't always gel with clients in the Midwest and, especially not in the Deep South.

Jon, Is the K4 on the way yet?

Haven't heard anything yet!

Amazing that the British conquered New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1652, over 370 years ago, renaming it New York, and yet the guttural undertones and consonants of the Dutch language still survive in these neighborhoods!

I'm gonna call her, . . . just to hear her talk!

I spoke with Ken Jr. Two weeks ago and a Ms. Parker the other day and my conversations were very pleasant and helpful.

First train store I was ever in... 1972!  They're more polite since Bobby got whacked.

A p.s. to my previous post....If you went to Madison Hardware on a BAD day you might hear the word every 1-1/2 words

Jon, I watched Workbench Wednesday tonight and asked Ryan when the K4s were coming. They will get them in NC in the next 2 weeks.
