Fanatics of trains?

Recently, a man described his fear of real trains and how he was traumatized by a horrific accident he witnessed as a child at a subway. Inevitably this man ended up with a ptsd type of event he has to deal with the rest of his life. 

The flip side of this for me, is using the model train medium to help me with ptsd symptoms I accumulated from my own youth. Two sides of the same coin but the opposite end of the spectrum with the subject being trains...

Just wtiting this small bit about it triggers me, just because it causes me to think about it and why I Am into the hobby.

That being said, I will leave that track to no where right here for now..,, 

Monday Dribble happens early

Monday already ?

So this year, I resurrected a couple blogs I had started a couple years back....One is dedicated to model railroading and how it relates to my real twisted up life and the other is more or less about my poker journey as a profession through the eyes of one of our pet dogs....(yeah I know, but my daughters thinks it's great)I also promised myself that I would keep them separated even though they are intertwined in reasoning, skills and end of day results...

But,if there is any amount of twisted, bent up curiosity, in how all that makes any sense, by all means look them up. I am pretty sure they are  existentially viral once the right blogger person/s internet guru gets a hold of them...,or so I am told..

In another unrelated business I found that blogging is tied to google and google drives the spots and placements of anything relevant,,,super complex searches that take anything that captures public attention to levels of euphoric untold riches... Riches that finance model trains ???and, and, and,,,?

So, like I said earlier..., " I won't mix that religion with those politics" ... 

Model train on everyone.

PS.. This is what happens when you wake up pre coffee hours on a Monday in Oregon...!

Model railroad memes...original!

Part of having a great blog is having great pictures, videos and just flat out something worth reading. Let's face it, most model railroaders are kinda boring, kinda introverted, kinda unique, and ok to be alone with their layout in most cases. Then you have a few ( like me) ADD acronym cases that has tried everything in the world but has come full circle back to what has been a mainstay since childhood, (off and on that is). The core never left me through my hot rod, fast cars, sports, marriage, 4 wheeling, bankruptcy, kids, multiple career moves and early mid life crisis stages... Yeah all that. In fact there has always been a buy a little here and there every year and occasional train show too. Amazed at what has stared me in the face all my life I have finally embraced my inner child as it were to live out what I feel now is years and years behind the proverbial eight ball. But enough of this relentless boring diatribe and back to the subject at hand... Train memes, model train memes specifically. I will be bold enough to say I invented them. Yeah, I know, prove it. The idea came up after memes started popping up all over the web. I google searched for train memes multiple times and different ways and came up with absolutely zero! None,nada, nunca, zilch. This is how I know!! Other search engines came back with the same results...

Now, I am now thinking time date stamp etc... But who really cares? So what if they are shared, that's what they are for, and I doubt if it will make me any money anyhow... But if you somehow do by chance, slip me a little credit will ya? It's good karma... Here are some of my favorite ones. And yeah my personality has s serious model railroad side/set up in there somewhere, but if it ceased to be fun, there is no point in it... Feel free to share of course- it amuses me to see some of my original favorites recycled everywhere..😄😄😄😄 and yes there is a lot more now..
