Counting with Trains

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)
1

Over in the “TRAINS Magazine Forums » General Discussion” forum I started up what I call “Pun Topics” that are design to be ongoing Photo Fun topics.

  • Look Mom, I can do my 1-2-3’s
  • Look Mom, I can do my A-B-C’s

I would like to try a similar one here in the Model Railroader by having folks post photographs from their model railroad rosters starting with #1 and go as high as we can go (WITHOUT GAPS) with any piece of railroad equipment you have a photograph of. Sounds easy, just wait!

OK, who has #1 ???

I’m gonna ride that iron horse into the sun
I’m gonna say goodbye to you and all the things you’ve done
I used to be afraid but I know today’s the day

I’ll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am just biding time again
Waiting on train number ten
One more drag off one more cigarette
I’ve made up my mind but I ain’t ready yet
Cause if that devil hits those tracks I know that I can’t come back

I’ll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am humming misery and gin
Waiting on train number ten

It’s getting late maybe tonight she won’t show up and change my mind

I’ll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am just spitting in the wind
Waiting on train number ten

Train number ten
