We all have seen the ubiquitus used car dealership on many a layout. I got to thinking. What if I changed things up a bit. What if I lined up rows of toilets and out houses and made a place where one can aquire one of these second hand dandies at good prices. I am sure Mr. Karr, can line ya up on an environmentally freindly low water use model.
Hope you all enjoy the laughs.

To those who were NMRA members when Whit Towers was the ‘Bulletin’ editor, the idea isn’t unfamiliar. Photos of unusual outhouses appeared almost every month, to the point that some members began to complain about the smell.
I heard of a 1925 PRR derailment that broke open a boxcar load of bathroom porcelain, most of which disappeared. Wonder if that’s where Mr Karr got his stock.

I’d think KARR was too busy trying to destroy KITT, to worry about selling toiletries to humans. [;)]
Well, this thread is already going to pot. Time to flush it. If he sells wooden outhouses, maybe he could join the Birch John Society.
James,
You need a hobby… LOL[:O]
Hobby? whats that? LOL. I figure there are eneugh serious topics on this forum. There needs somebody to get everybody laughing now and then.

If it pleases YOU, then do it. I’ve come up with some “different” ideas of my own and have metioned a few on this forum, so who am I to critcize?
Some ideas have drawn sarcasm. Others have drawn some “less than glowing” e-mail. I guess some of us think we’re actually running real railroads…
Good on ya mate!
A more modern operation would be a port-a-potty dealer such as Don’s Johns which I see all over the Northern Virginia construction sites. They have storage yards of them that you could model.
tomikawaTT: I always enjoyed Whit’s outhouses and was sorry to see them go. Their passing was IMHO a sign of the overly serious brand of model railroading that seems to be running rampant through the hobby today.
Enjoy

My local hobby store has a 3 pack of porta-jons for construction sites that would be great for your idea after some detail… and I also think you might have just a little bit of too much spare time… but ok keep being that creative and something good will happen.
Honest Karr’s Used John’s, the place ya gotta go!!![(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]
Great idea! After all, if ya can’t laugh, then you must be dead!
I will have to use that slogan, Thats just to funny.

The other day I was looking for some HO scale porta potties and was thinking about making a porta potty dealer.
