How many Buckeyes here on the forum?

Classic Toy Trains Forum

I understand there are a lot of Ohio train nuts around here[:)]

Has anyone seen the MTH buckeye train set?

Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, in a time when trains were everywhere–including steam power. B.A. and M.A. from Ohio State, and taught on the faculty there for a couple of years before moving to Hawaii and later to Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa, and now Virginia. So I guess I qualify as a Buckeye even though I haven’t lived there in many years.

TOO D---- MANY!!! [;)] May they all be waist deep in snohio by Chirstmas. [:O]

I’ve driven thru Ohio several times. Does that count?

I am not only a Buckeye, but I have also seen and heard the Buckeye MTH train set run with all of its sounds and music. [tup][tup][tup][tup]

The train not only plays the fight song, but it has the announcers for the 2002 National Championship calling the game.

Now tell us where you were BORN???[}:)]

As a Northwestern alum, I look upon OSU with disdain and envy. It does not help matters that I am married to a Michigan grad.

That being said, as a Big 10/11 supporter, I will be rooting for the Buckeyes to kick the snot out of the Trojans (I am hoping they put a whooping on the Irish) in the BCS title game. I will also be rooting for the rest of the B10/11 bretheren in their bowl games.

Born and raised on the west side of Cleveland about a block away from “Train Avenue” so you know what was moving through the neighborhood. Relocated to Indana 31 years ago but still go to games and root for the Indians and Browns. I’ll still claim to be a Buckeye but not a big, constant OSU fan… but this year I am. Got to see them last year as they beat up on Indiana… ouch! What a team this year though too. Wow!

Went to college in Pittsburg, that is about as close as I have lived to Ohio. I did change planes and peed in the airport restroom in Cleveland…does that count?

I’ve lived here all my life…(46yrs) I am between Dayton and cincinatti (Miamisburg) Ohio…

I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest all my live, but I have a sister who moved to Ohio 20+ years ago, and will not move back, (I’m sure it’s not because I live here). Tell me, does that make me a shirttail relative Buckeye of Ohio?

And no, I have not seen the MTH buckeye train set. Is there really such a thing? I’ll wait for the MTH Hooterville express.
