I am posting this from onboard Amtrak Train 196 at New Carrollton MD, while working on my track plan in 3rd PlanIt on my laptop.
I guess the only thing better would be if I had a small Z scale loop to run on my tray table - there’s more than enough room in business class seats.

I s’pose you could add listening to railroad songs on your headphones.

Ah, totally forgot on the Acela on the way down, you can jack in to the railroad radio. I guess I could hot one of the scanner web sites on my laptop.

Remember the briefcase Z scale layouts? You would not have to do any setup; just open, plug in, and go.
That would be perfect - wouldn’t even need batteries to run it since they have AC at all teh seats now.

I get together with other retired railroaders on the internet where we discuss health issues and the most recent episodes of Thomas The Tank Engine we have watched on PBS.

Here Randy, I’ll send ya one.[(-D]
How much train is too much train?
Is this even possible???
“When you get just a little bit more” - John D Rockfeller is famaous for reply when asked when will he have enough ? [swg]
[:-^]
There is too much train when the front coupler on the lead Loco is coupled to the tail coupler on the caboose…[swg]
Did that many times as a kid on the old 4x8. Fun to see which locos could pull a train that went all the way around on itself. At least until all those truck mounted horn-hook couplers knocked something off the rails.
I should have put a train on the tracks in the 3D mode of 3rd PlanIt - then I could have been running a train while on a train…yo dog! I don;t have any train simulators loaded on my laptop so I couldn;t do it that way - but I DO have (somwhere) the NEC for the original Microsoft Train Simulator, so I theoretically could have run my actual train while riding on it at the same time in the same location. Well, there’s always next time.
