Re: Flashing lights and/or Rotating Beacons on loc

When I first started this,I didn’t know how much fun it would be to see everybodys answer.

But seriously,when did some of roads start using them? I model in the 1950’0 to 1960’s
era,and would like to be semi-prototypical in this respect.

Also,Mookie if I hurt your feelings,I’m sorry. Just come by the house and you can either
have the or the beer, which ever one you want.

Mookie isn’t quite as calloused as some of the forum posters, but usually she can give as well as she gets.

Actually, beer isn’t Mookie’s thing - it tastes like really stale wet crackers to me! Now a good Vodka 7 is ok - Fuzzy Navel is better, but Milk (got milk?) is best! They did away with milk trucks and kept beer trucks! I think I am outvoted!

Fuzzy Mookie

Milk, catnip and chocolate cake with a vodka chaser? Yikes!

I will affirm that Mookie can dish it out as well as being thick skinned enough to take it.

Personally I am a thigh and *** man. Did I heard somebody say hoo . . .

Mookie:

Milk,catnipand chocolate cake? Oh Boy! don’t let my cats know about it!
They don’t like vodka but the dog certainly likes beer!
Oh well you are still welcome here anytime.

Locomutt

After the vodka with a beer chaser they will probally see some flashing lights. [:D]

I still want the troops home happy and safe, bring back the caboose,and who in the heck is ED? If he’s running for president, maybe he’ll git my vote.

Hey Look There – Another Vote For Ed. [:)]

Come on Ed, your voters await you. [:D]

Just think what you can do for Amtrak. And the country. [:)]

If ED is running for president,then MOOKIE should run
as vice-president. I think she should use the platform
of Milk,Catnip and choclate cake.

I’ll vote for ED, if MOOKIE runs.

locomutt

Mookie doesn’t run - it isn’t lady like! Besides, people hurt themselves laughing if the Mookie runs!

Ed is our resident common sense Texan - which is about as rare as a Mookie.

And since the Mookie has more curiosity than good sense, I understand the loco (i think) but the mutt? (I have people explain their handles on the forum - like Mudchicken for instance. Great learning experience.

Mookie

Well, Mookie. I’ve been a railroader over 40 years
and I’m semi-crazy,ergo loco. I’ve had pets most of my life
and when I’m on the computer, the dog(pet name MUTT)
is always beside me. So I took modellers license and
Duh! locomutt.

Hope that satisfies your curiosity. (although the old saying,
Curiosity killed the cat.)

locomutt

P.S. My dog isn’t really a mutt, her greatgrandfather was DEAMON,
and granddad SON OF DEAMON. Her mom come from Alaska!
(check out Disneys Snow Dogs.)

Boy if curiosity is going to get me, I won’t be around much longer!!!

Actually - Mookie has always been an animal lover of any kind - so dogs are good! Had a Budz one time that was a true garbage can dog. She was so faithful, I regularly stepped on her! [:0]

Thanx for explanation - now I have another wrinkle for my brain!

Moo

Okay Mookie, I told you how I picked my name,
byt where did Mookie come from?!

Also remember, That being crazy, keeps you from going insane!!!

locomutt

The rest of you ignore this - you all know this story - several times over.

First of all - insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids! That’s why I only had one -

Mookie is my aged cat. She was a stray just like almost all of my other pets!

Her real name is Abigail Ann - she ignored any form of that. One day I said Mookie and she meowed…it stuck.

My real name is Jenny - not Jennifer, not Genevieve, not Jennie - which is why I don’t like it. I am called Jane, Janet, Joan, Jennifer and Genevieve. Never Jenny. I like Jen - no one uses it! Ergo - Mookie - and everyone uses that - it is easy - you can’t misspell it cuz it will still come out close enough and other than Mookie Blalock (a football player ? - help me out guys) no one else has the name on here. Pretty simple, eh? Just like me -

La Mook

Duchess Von Levy, my 70 pound “baby”, is jealous of the computer and frequently crawls up in my lap while I am setting here. This, of course, causes typing errors and greately slows down my typing speed. But she does love to go train watching and noone seems to bother me either.

You know Jim,
Everytime I take my pets out in public, I get the same reaction, lots of elbow room!
Stay Frosty,
Ed

At least I can take Duchess to Petsmarts, but then again I guess you can take ah, yours too. I bet there won’t be a line at the cash register when you decide to check out. lol

No, not often,
But funny thing, some chicks dig the big one!
Still trying to figure out why its only the young girls with black dyed hair, real pale makeup, and black lipstick, but…
The kids who work there for a while already know to order a dozon jumbo white lab rats at the end of each month!
Gonna have fun a week from tomorrow!
Stay Frosty,
Ed[:D]

ED [:D]

Glad you are back in good health. I knew you were laying low just didn’t know why until you told us in another thread. I thought you were just trying to stay out of the last little fued. Now I wish I would have, but that is hindsight which is always 20/20.
